If it is worth DL or not? I have heard nothing good about the update. I had one guy said he DL it and right afterwards his cpu ran 2x slower. I don't if that actually caused his cpu to run slower but, if anyone has any pro/cons about the serivce pack #2 I would highly appreciate any responce. Is it worth dl or not? Thanks guys

I installed it on 4 computers here on my network from the CD about 1 month ago and haven't had any problems.

It installs a whole host of security updates, which is a good thing As a result, it could run a little bit slower

Most people would consider it to be like installing Norton Anti-Virus or another similarly chunky anti-virus program - you know that it will make your PC run a little bit slower but you still want it.

As with any major update, there is the risk that it will not install properly and cause your PC to have problems, possibly not even starting back up properly. The best advice here is to make sure that you have a reliable up-to-date backup of anything that you can't afford to lose separate from the PC (e.g. on CDROM) and test it before downloading the service pack.

I see, I will make a back up and take your advice thanks
