How do I know if XP SP2 has been installed?

I just got my computer back after the motherboard was completely replaced.
It's like I just took it out of the box. Before that, I did not update with
SP2. I have since turned on the automatic updates. However, I do not know
if SP2 has been updated on my machine or not. Can someone please tell me how
I can check to see if this has occurred, and if not what is the easiest way
to download SP2?

Thanks
Matt

On your desktop, R-click on My Computer>click properties. On the general tab
you will see which service is installed. If SP2 is not installed, go to
Windows Update for the download. It's also a good idea to order the SP2 CD
from MS just in case you have to reinstall XP. Should that happen, the SP2
CD has all the SP1 updates included.
