You should wait before getting this update. He is right. Wait for reviews before installing it because you never know.

I've actually been looking forward to the final release version. From what I've read it's a great update, and speeds up XP noticeably (system and gaming).

With that being said, I'm holding off on RC2 as I did with RC1 until reviews of the final version are out.

Lol guys. SP3 Beta's have been out for a while.

If you do a quick search on google you'll find people posting stories about it's improved performance. And even 1 or 2 benchmark charts showing it's performance compared to other systems and version.

I've been using Service Pack 3 (RC1 and 2) for several months now and it works fine.
