XP SP3

I've been sitting on the sidelines waiting to hear of any bugs on SP3. What the opinion? OK to install?

Thanks  :aok

I haven't had any issues with it and I've been running it since may.  No performance gains or losses.  Although it does take longer to establish a network connection.

No problems here, I even think the pc boots a bit quicker and I don't get so many crashes (it's an old dog of a pc)

My mother's laptop hasn't had any issues with it so far. It's only had the SP for a week now, though. And she barely uses it.

I only use a (homemade) SP3 CD anymore. No issues so far.

All I can say is, it's about time!  I can just push sp3 to machines instead of waiting for a million updates to finish before I can tool with it. :)

I thought the dual core Athlon patch wasn't compatible with SP3?

Or am I incorrect? Or did the newer dual core patch fix this issue?
