Default SP2... Should you DL it?
To make a long story short..... no..


It turned my happy go lucky new install of windows into a slow, VERY unstable pos in which if I overclocked at all, all hell broke loose....
when I get home from work i'll go back to trying to get it back to normal, and i'll probably have to reinstall for the 6th time in the last few days.... (raid's a pain in the butt...) sigh.. :/

Get a legal copy and you wont have problems.

I installed SP2 and it works fine with my RAID.
