Vista SP2

Those of you running Vista may be interested in this. SP2 RC was released a few days ago:

If you have MSDN or Technet access, you can download it immediately, otherwise, you'll have to wait til next week.

I'm a software 5 boxer running on a pretty serious machine (X58, i7 965, 12 gigs of ram, trisli GTX280s, RAID 5, Dell 30", etc). Before you bark about trisli, I know that WOW doesn't utilize SLI, but there are plenty of other games I do play.

Last night, I installed SP2 on Vista64 and noticed some very nice improvements. For reference, I have all graphics maxed except shadows.

Before I was getting ~ 25-30 FPS in dalaran and last night I was typically around 40-45FPS. For whatever reason, Dragonblight always seemed to be one of the worst zones for me as I would see around 20FPS there. After SP2, I was seeing on average 50-60FPS.

I'm curious if anybody else has installed SP2 and noticed any differences.

Shenanigans or not, I played for about an hour before I remembered that I had SP2 on my flash drive, so I was able to play it before and after with no updates from Blizzard.
