I intalled service pack two on my xp pro dell laptop and now I have all sorts
of memory related issue.

SP2 must be much larger and is sucking up all my memory so programs keep
crashing from lack of memory. And, everything is now sooo much sloooowwwer.

Can I go back to SP1 now that I have installed SP2?

SP2 doesn't suck up memory. You have other problems on the laptop that were
there prior to the SP2 upgrade or you didn't upgrade the various drivers to
be SP2 compatible.
