SP1 not offered by WU, but?

I have a gateway NX860XL laptop running Vista home premium. WU does no
offer SP1 as an option for this machine. I read about all th
possibilities that block SP1. I discovered that my machine had one o
the Sigmatel drivers that was listed. I removed the driver, and o
restart Vista loaded it's own. Now in device manager the Sigamtel drive
properties shows a driver by Microsoft. However, Vista still will no
offer SP1. Will Vista ignore me as long as I have this componebt in m
machine? Many reports say that Vista's speed is improved with SP1. I'
really like to have that. It would be really nice if I could get it t
go from a jog to a sprint.

FYI on Gateway. From day one I was very disappointed with the speed o
this machine and Vista, lack of a proper nVidia driver for the video
and even more so that Gateway had offered to sell me 4gb of memor
(additional $1000)even though 32bit Vista cannot see it or address it
(At least I didn't go for that.)

Thanks

Reformat Your Computer And Install Open Source Linux Ubuntu 7.10 RTW,
Just FYI.

Does Ubuntu run Autocad 2008, Corel X4, Sketchup, Solidworks and
Rhino3d? If it runs all these flawlessly then I'll definitely consider
it.
