No slow-downs here. Just had to turn off some Windows crap.

works fine here, did you slipstream it on the cd, or just applied the patch off windows update?

got it from the auto updates went to bed the other night and when I woke up it was ready to install. I just find that it takes about 30 sec longer to boot my system up. Kind of bugs me since it is a brand new system, and works great for everything until I put SP2 on it.

I suggest you use the "Safe" mode which is the one I use. Since I installed SP2 my puter takes about half the time it used with SP1 to boot up.

I suggest you do a clean install using your windows xp cd that you slipstream sp2 into first, it ran pretty good even on the 500mhz with 192 ram at school. im actually doing NetAdmin class at John Abbott (and thanks god im done with XP ahah back to Cisco stuff mmm yummy)
