Now, I got 4 systems running SP2.

Sys1 P4 2.4C @3.24
Sys2 P4 2.8C @3.43
Sys3 AXP 2600+ @2.5
Sys4 AXP 1700+ @2.1

Unless you turn off auto update in your SP1, it will drive you nuts as it did to me. So far, no prolbem yet.

Oh, there are 6 traffic lights from my house to my brother's, 17 miles away or 27.4 k/m. Good distance for bike ride in round trip.;)

Sandra takes forever to load after SP2 in P4 systems only; not AXP. Damn if I know the reason.

SP2 install resulted in BlueScreen on my A64 system.
safe boot okay, uninstalling...

MSI nForce2 400 + AXP clean install + SP2 seems to have worked :super:

A64 I'm not retrying until SP3 ;)

Did Microsoft get money from Ebay for putting a link to www.ebay.com and a small logo at the top of each IE window? (next to messenger logo)

That I'm not certain. One thing I'm certain is Ebay is a public traded company in NY Stock Exchange; having worked for two public traded companies, I know they don't do anything for anybody that does't impact revenue positively.

Ebay gets paid either way; cash, royalty, services, exchange data or whatever.;)

Reloaded latest ATI driver, couldn't run 3DMark2001se.... took me over two hours to figure out the reason behind...........

Guess what? Win SP2 security. To open the program I have to right click the mouse, and sign on user ID and password.

What I don't understand is that 3DMark03 runs without this procedure.
