Default Windows XP SP3

Is there any significant differences between the final SP3 version and my Win XP SP 3 v.3244? I am contemplating if I should update it as well but would like some input on the benefit over v.3244.

I'd just offer a matter of reason; would you have wanted to stick with a beta of SP2?

There may not be absolute and significant performance gains, but I'd suggest installing the final release simply as a matter of compatibility and stability as well as ease. Also, if the beta prevents you from getting any subsequent updates for XP (like how you can't get post SP2 updates without the full version of SP2) it would hurt you to stay with the beta.
