I did. There was nothing wrong with the rig in my specs. I think you should. If you don't like it, there's System Restore...

I've had SP1 on Vista x64 Ultimate for a while now, had no problems I haven't directly caused myself. Never had a problem with it before, but thought what the hell it is supposed to be an update.

If you want run this:

There are no manual steps involved. Just open your Windows command prompt and type
vsp1cln.exe (short for Vista SP1 Cleaner). It takes less than a minute to execute.

*vsp1cln.exe is added to your Windows Vista System folder after you install Vista SP1.

Some don't like useless crap sitting, some don't mind useless crap sitting.

Not sure if you are aware but you can make Vista bootup with all cores, can speed up boot process. Just go to Search, type run(hit enter), In the Open field type msconfig(hit enter), Click on the Boot tab, click on Advanced Options, check number of processors, and now you can change the amound of cores Vista will use at bootup. Restart once done.
