For those of you who didn't know and those of you who give a Toss, Service pack 3 is now available for XP.

For months now, hasn't it?

Yep.
Have they fixed the supposed bootloop yet? Last I heard it was related to manufacturers putting the Intel version on AMD PCs, but I've not heard anything since (because mine was fine and so I stopped caring).

That was only HP and compaq PCs afaik. They released a patch for it.

I still haven't got round to installing SP3, has anyone else done it? does it cause any problems and is there any noticable improvements?

Nothing went nipples north.

Noticabley faster boot and general OS use.

Apparently i've not bothered yet, might do later.

I only upgraded to SP2 in April.

SP3 is fine. I've been running it on both my PCs for quite a while with no issues.

Why did you wait so long to d o SP2 DP??

Um, I had a problem with my copy of XP

Probably easy ways around it but I couldn't be arsed finding one.
