Windows Update / Gaming Performance

[dremic]

How much of an impact can Windows 7 Service packs and updates effect gaming performance?

I have experienced no impacts on performance (define?).

Win7 "Service Packs" are nothing but bug-fix compilations.

What video driver you're running will have a far greater effect.

Do you mean the downloads slowing down games? Or what?
