Fresh install Win XP Pro...Sp1 or 2?

What's up everybody? Here's the deal, new Mobo: Gigabyte GA-81848P775-G>3.0ghz P4>1g DDR 400 ram. In doing a fresh install with XP Pro, which service pack should I install 1 or 2?

The reason I may be doing this install is that I've tried everything to get rid of snaps and crackles when using Logic Platinum5.5.1, primarily running the EXS24 sampler.

When to install SP1 with fresh XP Pro install?

Upgraded with new MOBO :Gigabyte GA-81848P775-G & Intel P$ 3.0ghz processor and have to reformat system drive. Will be installing XP Pro and was wondering at which point to install SP1 or even if it's absolutely necessary.

I just faintly remeber the headache I had getting it(SP1) going and running smoothly on my first XP Pro DAW.
