Collation Confusion

Greetings!
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2000 (Standard edition) on a new server to
mirror the version on an older server. The trouble I'm having is with
identifying the settings I need in order to match collations.
The instance of SQL Server on the old server has a collation described as
'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS'. I realise that 'CI' and 'AS' refer to
case-insensitive and accent-sensitive respectively, but what does 'CP1'
relate to?
I've searched through various resources but they all seem to avoid
describing that one crucial bit of information! Can anyone help?

cluster-compatible OS versions

I have an existing 2-node cluster on older hardware that is hosting 3
SQL2000 virtual server/named instances. The current OS version for both
nodes is Windows 2003 Ent SP1.
I intend on upgrading this to a 3-node cluster by adding two very new
host nodes followed by removal of one older node, giving me an
active/active/passive failover setup.
The question is: can I simply load Win2003 R2 Ent SP2 on the new host
nodes and join them to the cluster, or do I need to first upgrade the
existing nodes in some fashion?

I have not done this specific scenario, but I'd guess that it should work
because that's no different from an OS rolling upgrade. In any event, I'd
keep the OS versions on all nodes the same when all is said and done.

Make sure you have a valid, restorable backup first. Then add in the second
SP2 nodes.
