Should I upgrade to XP SP3 or not? Is it really worth it or am I going to be trapped in endless problems?

depends... lol. You could be sent into an endless reboot routine or you could be one of the people who have no problems at all with it. Only one way to find out, huh? :P

err0r: 666 + 1337 = 2003 backwards is 3002 which is how many people ozzy has banned from tg
err0r: spooky

It's still debateable. SP3 integrated is worth it for the speed (less updates, less load time) but I would say that it's entirely up to you whether you install it before it becomes a required upgrade (much like SP2).

It adds a bit of security to your system (plugs holes) and that's about it for note-worthy differences.

 

Imo, ignore Josh (there are fixes even if you do have the reboot problem) :P He's used to people knowing his sense of humour.

I don't get paid to know the answer, therefore I'm far more likely to give you a straight and honest answer.

sp3 is only a collection of updates after sp2

Nothing to loose anyway. If I get stuck in that endless reboot phase, atleast it'll give me an excuse to format (I've been lacking on the spring cleaning lately. My C drive looks worse than a crazy cat lady's home)

The heavens bleed, hell calls its minions to attack, and Microsoft releases another service pack.

Worship the deity Gates. For he is all your world needs. He is all you love!

Prepare for re-boot annonymous.

 

 

 

It went pretty smooth over here. They say the reboot problem is only with amd's , so if you have intel, you shouldn't have any problems.

AMD are solid processers, too bad Microsoft is too selfish to accept that.

I have an amd sempron proccessor it works fine for me

Installed fine on my three machines. I'm waiting until I start installing it on customers computers.
