Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Released !!! Officially !!!
Thanks for the info. Downloading, but in two minds, whether to install it or not.

Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Released !!! Officially !!!
SP3 RC1 is working like a charm. A must install after a fresh install.

Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Released !!! Officially !!!
I have just made a fresh install and then installed SP3. Commenting on performance will not be right until a few days. Its working quite stable for me.
The reason I said a must install on fresh installs is coz it updates the windows in the SP fashion.
@gsoul2soul
Service packs are cumulative. So you wont need to install SP2.

I think it makes more sense if you have SP1 and SP2 already installed since " Windows XP SP3 now contains 1,073 patches/hotfixes, not including those in previous service packs..."

Re: Windows XP SP3 RC1 Released !!! Officially !!!
I didnt find any difference except that it installs all patches. So in a way your XP becomes a bit more secured if not completely.
