Hm, was there a big difference between sp2 beta and sp2 itself,
i was running sp2 beta and i think i had sp2 on a 1ghz system, same vid card
just older mobo for a short time and games like halo, HL, and other games
even screen saves can give me problems on this 3ghz machine if i put on sp2
but the 1ghz gave no probs, same vid card till i upgraded stuff.
eh, guess i just won't be running sp2 till ms makes it to were you have to
