I have no idea what SP3 fixes or adds, I use SP2 because it is very popular and fixes everything that I want to be fixed.

Alright, but when I look at the download links on the microsoft site.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=68c48dad-bc34-40be-8d85-6bb4f56f5110&displaylang=en

I download both, .pdf opens my cs2 and when I try the .xda it says my XDA viewer isn't working?

Just downloaded it, computer is a bit faster, cant see user account control anywhere

Heres the one i used:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=114f3599-12af-42b2-aab1-b969a62c68a7&displaylang=en
Just download the Release candiate 2.exe, its 36 kb, scroll down..

It will put a registry key in your system, allowing you to update sp3
then just go to Microsoft update and download

If you had any previous versions installed like candiate 1 then that might be the problem

Alls it did was increase my speed some.

If you're running slow, I'd suggest it.

If not, not worth it.

Actually it is, a month or two almost every XP user will have SP3.. this means better updates, better performance etc...
You'll get more out of it
