Stay away from this like its AIDS


Been running sp1 and never once have I crashed all top of the line hardware. The moment I install this BSOD before windows can only get into safe mode. DELETE this sp2 never use it unless you do not know how to protect your computer and aren't a true gamer then go dl it get an ulcer...

Verdict

We recommend installing Windows XP SP2, but only after Microsoft has had a few weeks to work out the kinks.

Typical price

Free
