I think the college I am going to actually wants us to have SP2.  They sell that on all their laptops. 

But, why not SP2?

Perhaps, but since you can turn off the paranoia features and it's required for Visual Studio 2005, I've upgraded.  It's worth it.

It also screws up a bunch of programs.

What? My windows start up has never been faster since I upgraded to SP2. None of my software runs slower or faster because of it.

When SP2 first came out I had to unupdate after installing it, but SP2 is all good now, at least for me...

Cool dude!  I <3 my HP, my portable desktop

Additionally, I know Counter Strike, SP2, and my hardware don't go well together. Remember my other thread about my counter strike crashing problem? It was because of SP2.

LOL +1.

SP2 is worth it, I have no problems with my programs. Perhaps there is some way around?
