Does anyone know where I can get a CD with the SP2 software? I have a
eMachine that does not have SP1 or SP2 and will not accept a new printer
driver without the SP software. The email machine has 128 mhz Ram Speed.
Will that be enough?

Just a terminology issue, you have a 128Meg of Ram not 128mhz ram. A
PC has a speed but I doubt 128mhz.

And you can download the Sp2 here:

But I take it that you may not have broadband.
The 'order CD' link runs you to SP3. So unless you get another
favorable response, I suggest you see if a friend will get it for you
and burn a CD. You can then run it from the CD.

It'll be challenging, to say the least :)

You'll need to upgrade to SP3. you do or in the not-so-distant future you
won't be able receiving security updates/patches for your WinXP operating
system.

Why Service Packs are Better Than Patches.

128MB RAM is not enough memory to sufficiently run *any* service pack
level of Windows XP.

And BIll should also note that 128MB of RAM is very much insufficient
to run Windows XP with acceptable performance.
