I heard somewhere that Sp3 was mainly focused on networking bugs etc etc( i stand to be corrected)...So then even a minor increase in gaming is pretty cool

Way at the Bottem is the Sp3 part

It would be very amusing if winxp with sp3 runs slower than vista with sp1.

I have updated the FAQ with the long-awaited performance comparison.

Heh nice, good to see the facts but I would have kept it if performance was slightly worse (seemed better by leaps and bounds but that is expected with a fresh format).

Although the results are so close I think performance wise they can pretty much be considered equal. Or was it a average of 3 test type of result?

 

[The_Techie]

Every benchmark was run three times and the average was taken

Anyway, do you guys think I should install XP SP3 on my virtual version of Windows XP?
