- Before I go and download god knows how many disks worth of
- information and dealing with convincing my B drive that its my A
- drive, why do I WANT the service pack?!?!? Whats in there that I
- need? I have had some crashes under os/2 but they are fairly rare.
- The only complaint I have is that even with a 486/33mhz, 8 megs of
- memory, and a 210 drive (1/2 hpfs, 1/2 fat), this thing can get
- SLOW. But somehow I doubt the pack addresses that. Oh and it would
- be REALLY nice to be able to run my desk top in 800x760x256 AND have
- windows. As it is I can only run 800x760x16 because otherwise I
- can't have a win-os/2 screen up. (Even though if I go to full
- windows screen I get 800x760x256) Are any of these problems
- addressed by the service pack? I read the docs they included but I
- still wasn't quite clear on whats there and why I need it. How about
- a summary from someone who knows?
