no bad things about updating really.
aside from a little hiccup i got with my wireless card and "wlanapi.dll" which stemmed from a signed driver issue anyway.

and even then all i had to do was dig up the old wlanapi.dll from pre-sp3 and copy it to the wireless utility's program folder.

I like SP3 because 95% of the updates are there when I do a fresh install, so it is much quicker to get a system running.

Good to see a reply from an AMD user,

I heard the SP3 update caused major issues for AMD CPU's when it first came out, I guess all those issues have been resolved yes. Reason I ask, I've just had my system updated with new parts (Graf Card, CPU, RAM) and don't want to turn my system into a useless big door stop....

Thanks

I noticed no differences between XP SP2 and XP SP3. Except for that annoying security alert when you open files after downloading them online.

SP3 did not agree with AMD cpu's at first. However this problem has now been fixed so you need not worry.

I never had a probelm with the last 2 BETA's of SP3 or the final (well 1 problem with one of the BETA's, but not a CPU problem, it was a Remote desktop issue).
