Default sound cards again

so ive got this crappy sound card and want to upgrade to this: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy SE. i meet all the requirements, and all the websites it says it works for Windows XP Service Pack 1 or higher. i have SP1 but when i went to circuit city and found it, i checked again but this time it said only SP2...did i read that wrong or pick up a different card? i'm confused now

if you really need service pack 2, which btw you should have as sp1 is not supported, you should enable windows update and download sp2 or search microsoft's website for the installable package. SP2 is designed to better protect and serve your system as such some of the apis have changed along with some of the drivers. It is likely that the units on the shelf have the latest driver packaged with them. The device itself may support sp1, but the drivers may require sp2. SP2 is a free update as long as you use a valid copy of Windows xp.
