OT: SP2 and AMD don't mix..

Pff so the guy installed it on 3 amd systems and then concludes there is no problem? Really. What a joke.
Not installing SP2 until the quircks are out is better or switching to another OS for instance win2000 or linux

Some AMD systems will need a bios flash to fix some microcode that hangs up on XPsp2. I have not seen a list of systems yet. Also, some VIA and SIS chipset P3 and P4 Boards need flashes.
