You can phone Microsoft South Africa, they should be able to ship a copy to you

Be sure to integrate SP3 once you get it.

Or just dl the standalone install fine and install that

From what I've heard, yes. I'll be able to tell you tomorrow (once I've installed it)

WKJ do me a favour man :>>
Run a few benchmarks, with a specific video driver (all standard settings, or at least set the graphics to the same settings)

Then do the benchmarks in XP SP2 , and then run them in SP3.

Would like to see if there's actual speed diffs, or extra memory usages etc.

Will do, I'll post a thread regarding that

Or I'll just update the FAQ accordingly

Sp3...

I installed SP3 on my home computer and work computer...And remote desktop stopped working after a while, so my first impressions of SP3 is not that hot...but I did get a dodgy version: well, I am sure it was...got it from my brother....

There is also always Torrent sites to download SP2 from. Right now (.) I am holding 5 SP2 disks in my hand. We got a ton of them at our primary client.

Now let me go see if I can get a legit SP3 download...

I could not find a straight forward download for SP3, so I had to ask some Pirate friends at some bay somewhere...And it seems good, so let me download that...
