SP2 seems to be using more memory than SP1

[Xtasy]

Is it just me or does SP2 really take up more memory than SP1? I noticed that many of my programs use almost twice as much memory than before. I've been wondering about this for a while... Does anyone else notice this?

Does this not happen to anybody else?

i havent tried it yet, i saw it on the automatic update icon on my windows task bar, is it safe to download and try on both my PCS ? the one in my sig (cant use it yet, only in a few days hopefully) and this older one im usin right now.
i use ALOT of programs and game ALOT, so im afraid it might conflict with something, especially afarid of it not making me able to boot up.

I have sp2 and my system is running the same or maybe a little quicker than it was.I have also put it on some other rigs and none of them are showing any kind of ill effects from sp2 either.Have you ran a spyware check with either spybot or adaware?Also you may try to see if a checkdisk and defrag will improve you rig,if you havent already.I like to do them both especialy after a large download.

hold off a little bit on the one your are currently using...if the new one that you are getting is a fresh install of xp, there is no harm in getting sp2 on there. the one you are using now might run into some problems, so it would be best to just wait a little for that one. overall though, sp2 has been doing pretty good, with just some problems.
