If you're eager to get your hands on Windows XP's third service pack you'll be pleased to hear that the first release candidate is now available for download from here. As this is not a final version it is recommended that you do not install this on your primary Windows installation, although it should be fairly stable and secure. Microsoft has also released the final version of Office 2007 Service Pack 1, available for download from this page, which includes a number of stability, performance and security updates.

Seany1212Firstly get a life you insensitive twat, if you had of read his previous posts he said that he was testing it on his older celeron system, secondly hes only about 13 and quite frankly hes the only one whos bothered to try it so far, so cheers ben, at least it shows at least some improvement over SP2 no matter how large or small :rockout:
Actually it shows nothing... Those times are too close to say there was any performance increase.

But it was definitely nice to see something as solid based at SuperPI.
That shows that they didn't fix any "Slow Fat" That xp has naturally...
Although they may have added a few things to give a little boost to this and that.

I know they recommend not to install this on your primary installation but if one did is it possible to uninstall a service pack?

Yes, as long as it isn't integrated. I uninstalled it from this system.

I noticed that it screws up Diskeeper 8 slightly.....By slightly I mean that when I try to defrag I get an error message. It gives me a choice to ignore and continue, which I do. It then defrags as normal!
