    Wassup guys, just have a quick question. How do you know if you have the vista sp1 installed?

    here are the list of the last hotfixes installed through windows update:
    Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.29.7920.0)
    Update for Windows Mail Junk E-mail Filter [March 2008] (KB905866)
    Update for Windows Vista (KB946041)
    2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    It appears as 'Vista Service Pack 1 66-400MB' or something along those lines, i forgot what it said exactly as I just done the SP1 update on my HP laptop.

    We won't be able to Install SP1 yet, as we have RealTek drivers which are currently incompatable and so the update does not show up on our Windows Update. (It's not showing for me on my Toshiba X200 SLi laptop)

    Go to CONTROL PANEL. SYSTEM.
    You'll see Service Pack 1 under your OS if you have it.

    I just updated SP1 to My X205 as well all went nice and smooth except it took a while lol.
    and Yes you have to go to MS and download from their site because it won't show on the Windows update.....

    Yeah I'm not very computer literate and don't want to mess with my files so I'll just wait till sometime in April when it becomes available on windows update. Although I really want to see how it benefits an sli configuration.
