i think the change in SP2 that is being talked about is the use of the NX bit. This bit tells the OS if a certain mem location contains executabel code or not. Making bufferoverflows harder to exploit. But this can only be used if the chip suports it, and currently the AMD x86-64 are the only ones that do.

so unles you have a opteron you cant detect any issues resulting from the use of the NX bit

for any one interested there is a realy good thred about this topic at aceshardware.com
