you probly wont notice the speed increase that much with a quad cpu or a fast dual but i think on older systems things will be better

YAY, 100% on stage 3 of 3 and guess what popped up on the screen. "service pack did not install, reverting changes". i still hate it

do a disk clean up do a registry clean up and make absolutely 100% sure that you defrag and delete everything in the temp nd prefetch folders i run into this problem at work...and these steps fix it ...as well as people who have updates pending (little sheild icon next to shutdown button in start menu)

MS are moving away from HUGE Service Pack downloads, instead they will check what updates you already have, then only download what is needed. Also you will be REQUIRED to have SP1 first, so no SP2 from RTM.

Triprift · Nov 23, 2008, 05:54 AM

So more of the same excellent.
