Documented on my blog rather than in the computergripes.com. In brief, installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 slowed down a machine that had shipped with SP1.

I say this based on an experience with an external USB WiFi network adapter, model DWL-G120. On the first computer I tried it on, the adapter wouldn't even install. The first response from D-Link tech support was typically useless. I expected that. On the second computer, the software crashed while being installed. Still, on this machine at least, I did get Windows to recognize the adapter and Device Manager to say it was functional. But, it wouldn't connect to any WiFi network. Then it turns out the adapter does not support WPA encryption despite the fact that the retailer (NewEgg) and D-Link both say that WPA is supported. Registering the adapter was also miserable.
