Problems with XP SP2 and AMD ?

Geek News Central Revealing Links & Useful Technical Information

Great. This might explain why SP2RC2 SCREWED UP my laptop!

"In an article posted in the Knowledge Base section of its Web site, Microsoft says that Service Pack 2 may not work with computers running Advanced Micro Devices' 64-bit microprocessors. The Redmond, Washington-based company said earlier that owners of such PCs may want to bypass the update completely, but has now come up with a workaround. "

However, the ZDNET article goes on to say that AMD thinks only one application causes this problem with SP2 and I don't have it. In any case I guess I'll be delaying installing anything related to SP2 on either laptop or desktop. Everything's working fine enough...
