Tech ARP - ED#86 : Windows XP SP3 RTM Schedule & Updates!

Im really waiting for this!

**MiretanK** · March 20th, 2008

not soooo new... we'll have to wait until may i guess ;\

Memulator91k · March 20th, 2008

isn't v5503 leaked already which is basically the Official release.

Look here:

Mad · March 20th, 2008

Ive tried that V5503 here.
Didnt noticed any difference from V3300.

But one thing i noticed, you dont need to install WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.
That was a hotfix for AMD dual-core processors. But you still need AMD Dual-Core Optimizer. And probably the registry and boot.ini tweak.

Squall-Leonhart · March 21st, 2008

the optimiser is a double edged sword, it fixes some games, while breaking others.

Xtreme2damax · March 21st, 2008

That's great news about XP SP3, can't wait until it goes RTM.

I heard from somewhere there won't be a SP3 for the 64-bit edition of Windows XP, can anyone confirm this or link me to a reputable source that claims this?

Squall-Leonhart · March 21st, 2008

afaik, XP64 got the updates from Server 2003 that have now been backported to XP32.

Ok then, well that explains it. I didn't realize XP64 had the updates already implemented that XP 32-bit is going to get with SP3.

Looking forward to this update

(Depending on whether it fixes or breaks things

)

Mad · March 22nd, 2008

Squall, what games got broken buy this hotfix?
I used it here since i got my AMD X2, and had zero problems with it.

Squall-Leonhart · March 22nd, 2008

i seriously couldn't tell you, its been that long since anyones really brought it up in topic.

TG Daily - XP Service Pack 3 heading out in two weeks
Closer than ever!

Mad · 2 Weeks Ago

One more delay...
TG Daily - Update: Microsoft delays Windows XP SP3

Mad · 1 Week Ago

Finally out, but only in English...
Windows XP Service Pack 3 officially available
And theres only an ISO file that weights 544.9 MB. Wheres the .exe only?

Hard core Rikki · 1 Week Ago

it popped in my autoWU yesterday, only 70 megs.
Just mount the ISO into a virtual drive (or open it in Isobuster) and you'll have your EXE ;p

DB7 · 1 Week Ago

I don't see what advantages this service pack is going to bring to the average user, since the only new features being added is some security stuff back-ported from Vista.

This is only really a collection of previous updates, so if you've kept your PC up to date from Windows Update, then the only thing it adds is a nice new mention of Service Pack 3 on the System Properties screen.

Hard core Rikki · 1 Week Ago

AutoPatcher is a much sweeter deal actually, but some might appreciate the extra features not available as separate packages

Mad · 1 Week Ago

Oh yeah, the iso contains the .exe
And its available to all languages, not only English, sorry :P

Here i found a blog with direct download links to .exe and the .iso from all languages.

Supposedly 10% faster than SP2. Might be worth it, but I'll wait another month till all the kinks are worked out.
