Yes

Just apply the most recent one, which is currently SP2, there has been
loads of reports of it trashing systems, be carefull, also if you
install SP2 get the hot fixes as well ( kinda like service packs for
service packs ! ). I've got SP2 on one machine no problems, but unless
your suffering from a problem don't rush it, I've got a another
machine with SP1a on, which doesn't seem to suffer to much ( SP1a
comes with the ASP download ).

look at http://www.microsoft.com or http://www.winntmag.com/ for more
info.

Have fun
