It's unsafe to run windows no less than having SP2. it doesn't take that long to download SP2 if you have highspeed connection.

I've got SP1, do I need to install SP2 now? Does it really help if I'm not using third party downloads or fyling with others? It seems this was what was addressed in SP2 ???

I believe the 1st poster is talking to the fact that FSX requires XP SP2.

FSX-SP2 has some good things in it, read about it here:

As long as you are not wedded to FS9 content, yes.

I dont know about that. When I got fsx all i had was a 512 mb and a 256 mb card of random access memory (ram). It worked fine and downloaded fine, but it took almost 24 hours to install. I got a graphics card with a gb of ram built in and a 1 gb stick of extra ram for my computer and it runs adequately on medium/high settings. Just make sure that if you buy extra ram that your computer can handle all of the ram you put into it. Mine Could hold 2 gb of ram and i have 1,512 mb total plus a graphics card with an extra gig. Graphics cards wont overload your computers ram limit. The service addon pack works good also. Try that. Hope this helps! 😉
