If I now do a fresh install............Will SP2 bring me up to
date....without having to install SP1 or any other updates I mean?
I know I'll have to install any updates that come after SP2.
 
If you are contemplating a fresh install, I recommend the
following:

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming SP2
into Windows XP a breeze:

Yes. A fresh install followed by a Service Pack 2 install has the
system completely up to date in terms of Critical Updates.

I did exactly that earlier today just to verify that this was the
case.

But creating a slipstream CD, as per Carey's response, and then using
that to install from is a faster and better procedure.

Good luck
