@3 haha sure…the newer it gets the slower it also gets…
some reality: xp is THE best windows os ever and will propably be that untill game studios start developing games only for vista and dx10 so grab all the updates u can that will actually work and not slow down…

so want a good game os that plays anything whitout problems :XP
want a os that just looks good and have A LOT of never used resources in ur pc :vista
want ur pc to be as fast as possible but maybe not that compatible with games : win98/2000/me

For those of you with HD audio, do as this person did:
Managed to solve the problem finally. After having read several forumtopics I’ve found out there is no support in sp3 for hd audio. But after downloading new realteak driver from asus I found something SP2 related in that folder and extracted this. Going to devicemanager and pointed the yellow device to that extracted folder and it begin installing Microsoft UAA bus driver which wasn’t in my devicemanager before. And voila sound came out of my speakers. My sounddrivers was installed before when doing this.

If you have working XP-Pro SP2 with all updates, do you need SP3?

After seeing this a while back with reports of an application increase in performance, i was intrigued 2 c how much of an increase this was, and if it was 4 all applications, and not just microsoft apps (Was tested on Office i believe with 10% increase in performance).

So whilst downloading it, i looked around the web 4 some evidence on wether or not this was true, and if so if it was exaggerated. Lo’ an behold, i came across a popular gaming hardware site, tht posted articles on new releases on information, for new hardware and software.

After reading the comments, i was led to believe tht this actually might be true… And it was.

Like some1 had said, i quicky benchmarked a few games, running at 1280×1024, everything as high as pos, and then did the same after installing SP3 to compare. The best increase came from the source engine, with a 30FPS increase in average from using the video stress test.

I couldnt believe it, but was amazed tht this was finally something tht microsoft did right in terms of there OS.

Other than tht it is noticeablely quicker @ opening windows etc.

Give it a try, although i cant promise the same kind of increase, since it probably depends on ur hardware.

Everyone knows that the ottoman empire was the real superpower. The british empire sucked in comparison.

What difference does it make if the British ‘Empire’ was the foremost global power at one time? I was also the prince of persia in a previous lifetime….wat difference?? History is history. lets just talk abt the release (presuming thts why this comment column exists)

As for SP3 – use it on an ETH0 release if you must use it on a pirated copy i.e. the student or the corporate version. Rest other copies, are just bound to get screwed. As I am finding ou the hard way!

I’m Running ETHO XP Corporate with SP2 integrated and I don’t use any cracks or WGA bypasses on my computer. After I install XP I just wait for MS to auto update and just say no to installing the WGA tool. I still get all the updates, there is no annoying messages and everything works just fine.

I installed SP3 last night and no problems at all. No serials or activation codes needed. I just downloaded the standalone version of SP3 and installed from there. Noticed a nice speed increase as well. It was kind of strange though that right after the install was done and the computer restarted XP did an automatic update for “Malicious Software Removal”.

I seem to recall an article (dream state)()()()()()()()()()()()()()() oh ay on here called
Microsoft to remove Vista kill switch feature
Posted on 05.12.2007 at 20:11 in Tech News by Martin
in it stated Microsoft on Tuesday said it will cease hobbling Windows Vista installations that fail the company’s validation processes in its forthcoming Service Pack 1 update, scheduled for next year.Currently, Microsoft penalizes Vista users that fail to activate their operating system software within 30 days, or three days after a major hardware configuration
now this seems funny to me that @ the same time this kill switch is being deployed sp3 for XP comes out as an in between test and a done version.
Don’t take My word for it but I believe that its just another way for ms to make sure you have a non pirated copy of XP
I did have sp3 on my system and having an authenticated version of xp it just made my system think there was a ton of spy’s on it as well as a back door or black hole if thats the term used nowadays. and left my pc open to all kinds of crap. so I reinstalled and every went back to norm.

ms wants every one to use vista which in my opinion stinks.
it’s way slower than xp even when xp first came out.
vista probably will be faster if pc manufacturers put higher
processeser into pc when they first ship but in order to do that they would start charging more money and where will that lead us back to the days when only the rich had such things as a personal home computer. besides that they want to be able to get into ur system when ever they want like they do with vista so stay clear and when the finale version gets released say no to the upgrade…….

I’m going to let the noobs download this first and point and laugh as they find things going wrong.

Remember what happened with Service Pack 2?! That was “ready for release” but programs broke and it took months for Microsoft and other companies to get things fixed. I’ll pass.
