scyphe Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 i just got RC2 installed and noticed that my system runs a lot faster now then the other builds :D I guess MS have dropped some debugging/idwlog-code. Suddenly I wish I hadn't made a slipstream of 2142. No way to uninstall a slipstreamed SP. Guess I will have to install WinXP SP1 over the current installation and then RC2.

SidVicious Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 A question...anyone here running a system with nForce2 chipset...SP2 has drivers for it? Or should we use the NVIDIA's UDP?

scyphe Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 So since RC2 is released now. When's the expected date for the final build? Anyone? There's no set date. July is the latest guess. We'll have to see. If there's any party stoppers in RC2, it'll take longer.

No "built-in" drivers in RC2 afaik. And I wouldn't use them anyway, just as I don't use MS soundstorm-drivers, barebone without control panel etc. (and actually crapped out my standard soundstorm drivers).

b3ta Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 So since RC2 is released now. When's the expected date for the final build? Anyone? There is no totally ironclad date that's been decided. I personally think that it will go RTM before the end of June.

tomwarren Veteran Posted June 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 15, 2004 ,Jun 15 2004, 01:08] :cool: A thread about Windows XP SP2 RC2 wouldn't be complete without you. :wub::blush: So how is RC2 treating you? I have a long while before the download finishes. :$ I'm personally running MCE 2005 Beta 2 which is XPSP2 #2137 so honestly i'm not sure. I'll install RC2 on a test machine later but it's good reports all round at the moment.
