I installed SP2 two days ago and haven't had any issues. I had actually rebuilt last weekend though so it was a fresh install of XP.
I do zero overclocking though just due to the fact that since the 600P3 days I've never had a stable system when I do that. Some games were over sensitive, some just would belly ache. For the 3 - 5% boost in performance it just was never worth it.
I'm a Programmer for a living so I need a stable system. Don't need my computer crashing while I'm working in VS.NET or Flash MX 2004 loosing work.
I took my Mushkin ram to 2-2-2-6 timing and Command and Conquer would always complain about a hardware overheating error. There were other misc oddities on the system so I took the mem back to its default 2-3-2-6 and have been stable ever since.
My Abit IC7-Max 3 has the Turbo + mode for the memory to which made the system unstable as well. As much as I love to tweak its just boiled down to paying for performance instead of altering variables and ending up with alot of belly aching and crashes.
