vista wants me to download sp2, anyone got any experience with it? stable unstable? i mainly want to know if it improves frame rates for games

yes very stable and i'd recommend you download it. can't comment on the games part though

SP2 is just a roll up of previous updates. If you've been keeping your system up to date then you've probably got most of it anyway.

How on earth are you still running without SP2?!

SP2 isn't that much of an update, much more of a nice, consolidated pack of all the previously released updates. Definitely install it.

+1 to all of the above posts

the main time a service pack causes problems (more so with 2000 and xp) is when the user has applied 'tweaks' and 'optimisations' to their machine from random websites on the internet.. rarely, drivers can cause issues

SP2 is good, much smoother moving from SP1 to SP2 than from RTM to SP1. You should also think about installing the platform update (Enables DX11 and generally gives a slightly snappier feeling to the whole system). Also installing SP2 will free up around 30G of hard disk space (Yes really).

Vista SP2 + platform update makes Vista perform more like Win7.

I actually Love Vista.

Mind you though I've only run it the last couple of months & all the Guinea pigs ironed out the problems.

Update it & Enjoy. :cool:
