Can anyone on the forum confirm what seems to be some performance gain as discussed here?:http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-237-1.htmSounds interesting, an update from MS that actually improves performance rather than hurting it...!Joel

The link works; perhaps your pop up blocker prevented you from getting to it.Sherm

Yes, now it works.Some folks on the Avsim forum devoted to SP2 actually claim a significant performance decrease with SP2. I am not sure what to believe.Michael J.

Hi Joel,The 1-2 FPS on my system really made a difference when I updated Dx. Benchmarks are great, but guess what? In the real world a user would not notice a speed difference between SP1 and SP2. Many believe that it takes a 10 to 15% difference in order to notice a difference in real life. It is grand that SP2 has not slowed systems down! I installed SP2 and have not noticed a speed difference so I encourage it's installation.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
