XP Pro SP3 |
|
i haven't had internet for almost a yr, i'm running XP Pro SP2 and have the latest updates, went to M$'s site today and saw SP3, i have it downloaded but not installed, i have automatic updates on but nothing popped up about SP3 yet.
i have gotten it downloaded, (full install) version of SP3 but not installed it yet.
comments ? should i install it? i really don't care for the 10% performance increase.

meh, i didn't have anything bad happen when i got it.
hell im not even sure how long that's been, i tend to keep the auto updates off and turn them on every so often to get whatever is out, unless i read something that makes me do it.
go for it

Install it, actually has some significant advantages for memory throughput.

Yes, install it
Just make sure any firewall or AV software you use is the most current version of the product (and disable the AV during the install)
Then load on a whole shitload of patches to SP3 after it is installed
Be warned, it will take some time to get everything updated from a SP2 install to present.
Might be easier to just go straight to Windows 7
