Need? Wait for a moment... (or two...)
1-Before any attempt to install SP2: get information about it. Three links

Get as much information as possible about this issue. Read carefully it and
decide youself what to do and when.
2- Your computer may be running slow for several reasons:
a) Too many programs installed. Uninstall old ones.
b) Too many programs in Start/Run (Execute)/ Type msconfig in the box/ Go to
Start tab and uncheck unnecessary programs.
