Free Download Windows XP SP3
Posted in Microsoft, Security | By AhTim @ May 22nd, 2008
After wait for sooo long, Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) has been officially released!
If you have not upgrade your Windows XP to service pack 2, this is a good opportunity for you to upgrade all patches at a glance. This might be the final service pack for Windows XP, since Vista has been out for quite some time.
My friend told me he has upgraded his Windows XP to service pack 2 some time ago. It make his machine run slower when playing games. I am not sure about this SP3, but I do believe Microsoft already fix more bugs compare to SP2.
You may download the Microsoft official Windows XP SP3 executable file (~316MB). The fixes included all previous security patches in SP1 and SP2. The full list of fixes shows more than hundred hotfix.
My machine still at service pack 1, I should start download and upgrade. Have you upgraded your Windows XP machine to Service Pack 3? How is the performance after upgrade? Please comment here

Actually if you have been at SP2,you can’t feel much at SP3.As you said that you are still at SP1,I think you will feel some improved performances.
But there are some issues on AMD PC when installing SP3.If you are using AMD CPU,you’d better to wait for the solution.

@liciece: My personal computer is running on AMD, fortunately I have not upgrade.
@Jay: It’s more on security patches, so you will never “feel” it
@joshuaun: Congrates. Hows your kubuntu? Running well?

The place I work still not upgraded to SP3 yet. However, I have tested and no conflict so far. Planning to release to all workstations in a month or so.
