Have dumb SP2 question

[Therat]

Am newbie with XP/Home. Not much on computer so I can reformat. Have SP1. Does SP2 have everything from SP1? Looked on Microsoft site but didnt get a definitive answer..at least I didnt see one.
Load SP1 then SP2? or just SP2?
Thanks

just load SP2

i wouldn't even consider installing sp2, but if u want sp2 you don't need to install sp1a

 

[Blind_Arrow]

i have sp2, not showed any problem so far.

 

[TheMajor]

yeah, but u have an Intel....i've hears of lots of problems with AMD's and I even had to fix an AMD with sp2 last week

 

[Blind_Arrow]

hmm, well, I have one AMD running as well in my home on SP2, no probs at all.

 

[TheMajor]

not al AMD's have issues, but generally more often than Intel

 

[Blind_Arrow]

well, then i'll rather say chipset issue, not processor issue, as AMD developed AthlonXP chipsets with Windows developers as well.

'i've installed on nVidia chipset (n-force-2) may be SiS or ALi are showing problems, as VIA is as well recommended chipset.

 

[TheMajor]

yes, well, ur right....processor issue eventually means chipset issue in most cases

Yeah just stay away from sp2 if you can for now
