Service packs add all the patches that your system needs and in some cases can change major things in an Operating System.
For me it depends on what Operating System, the computer and other factors.

at this point, yeah. SP 2 for the DEP (amd/emt cpus), and as you might notice some software info stating in order to use it you must have such and such SP, etc.

what were the problems you had with SP2?
system wouldn't run as well as with sp1, just general weirdness and instability, had to disable n-execute coz it'd mess up some programs and i had to format every 6 to 8 months.
SP1 runs well over 14 months now I'm about to break that record and my PC runs perfect all day everyday.
