VistaSP2 v.113
SP2 is running extremely well on my E1705.Cpu,and memory usage has drastically fallen with the update.Windows loads 100% quicker with SP2,web pages are loaded almost instantly.I do have one strange problem i can't figure out,my network went from 54Kbps to 54Mbps?...Have not figured this one out.No problems or errors i have 2 programs that had a driver compatability issue with Vista SP1,which is fixed,or gone with SP2.One big downside to this though,when installed it completely re-configured sigma tel audio.When i booted up after install audio was set at max woke everyone up in the house(installed last night around 11 p.m.).And AV's and firewall's do not need to be turned off for SP2 install either,like SP1 where everything had to be turned off.I will post more after i work with it longer.

I have been running sp2 on my xps m1530 for over a week now and have had no issues. I have noticed that the bluetooth setup uses an explorer type window instead of the bluetooth setup screen used before. I will keep it on until i have an issue with something unfixable.

Sounds like a problem I'm having. The speakers sound off at random times and go through a test pattern. It's loud as heck and scared the heck out of the kids. Have to shut down all speakers to avoid this random action. It has been happening for a week.

Right now it is 100% stable for me,so far,but the 2 problems with network and audio,have not been figured out yet.I sent an email to microsoft but no reply from them yet.
No i am not a BETA tester for microsoft i recieved the install for SP2 from the VIP forum and decided to try it out.Usually i am skeptical about certain BETA programs,but SP2 is a 100% improvement over SP1.http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20573&st=15&p=190127&#entry190127 . This is the link that worked for me use Razor Vin T's download.The link from the VIP forum did not run came back with an error,so i googled it and this one worked.
