I would also advise running disk defragmenter at least once a month.

Seriously. So far from what ive seen and tested, your computer is better of with no service packs or with SP1 at most.

You also forgot to mention: cleaning up temp files every week or so, cleaning the registry, removing unwanted/unused programs, and defragging.

I have seen ups and downs with SP2. Both up and down were with my system. I am using SP2 and now, I would say it doesn't cause me any problems, but my advice is to be careful and follow Microsoft's instructions to the letter, becasue I have seen this mess up a few PCs.
