    Windows XP SP3

    I am currently running Windows XP Pro with Service Pak 2 and from time to time my updates reminder says I should download Service Pak 3. My question to you tech gurus of R3V, is this download advisable or is it an invitation for headaches just like the early days of XP when Service Pak upgrades which were downloaded over the Net wasn't as good as getting it from a CD.

      I would get it. it's definitely an improvement as far as boot time and stability.

                  Been out since before Vista was released I'm pretty sure. I haven't had any problems with it.

                    Go for it, I remotely pushed it to over 100 workstations overnight and not one had a problem.
