Just wondering if people with these CPUs have still been installing SP2 on their machines. i had it on my old system running an Athlon Xp 2500+, but now that I have a Prescott CPU, windows update has it blocked. I was just wondering if anyone has manually installed this.

Thanks!

Critical Update for Windows XP (KB885626)
Overview
This non-security critical update helps resolve an issue where a limited number of systems running a BIOS without production support for Intel Pentium 4 and Intel Celeron D processors based on Prescott C-0 stepping can potentially hang on Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation. After you install this update, you may have to restart your computer.
