I was wondering if i need to reapply the Via 4in1 Driver updates.

Or what else I may need to reapply.

When i upgraded service pack my comp went crazy Explorer.exe error everything... I went back. I would try doing something like a benchmark and see if they are the same or something

No you do not need to reapply the 4in1s. MS has included the most recent Via drivers. Once you install the Sp open the dev Manager and update the drivers. Allow the OS to search for the newest drivers (should be dated 4/01)and install. I am currently running W2K server on an ABIT VP6 with SP2 slipstreamed (installed with SP2 Intregrated) and the system is extremely stable.

I figure this.

It won't hurt anything. it took me less time to reinstall the drivers than to find out if they were the same, so who cares :)
