    Service Pack 2

    Up until now, I have been avoiding it like the plague.

    Should I?

    I'm a gamer, and I hate it when stuff messes up (because I have LAN parties a lot)

    I remember seeing SP2 on my friends machine, and they had changed stuff like where you go to get the IP settings so we had real trouble at our LAN partie. Also, I remember hearing about all the problems with SP2, are they all cleared up yet?

    There's no problems with SP2 at all. Only benefits. The only problem with it is the lack of people even attempting to configure it to get it to work correctly. The majority of people I know are using it an it works perfect

    if you do have any problems its normally trying to install it when you have loads of junk on there. Have had no probs from a clean install.
