Well I am using SP1 for quite some time and i has not given me any problems at all. Although it hasn't given me any performance boost also so I say install it.

:banghead: damn it. The DVD doesn't have SP1 for Win 7 64-bit. It says that u cannot install 32-bit of Win 7 SP1 for Win 7 64-bit. :-x

But you can easily just update to SP1 from microsoft site so just go for it and download and install.
