Performance Boost with WinXP SP3 vs SP2

May 13th, 2008 by moody

Well, I still need to download and install the update. Reason I haven’t done so is out of pure laziness but after reading this topic, there is now a good reason to get SP3. It seems SP3 brings a small performance boost compared to SP2. In addition, after it’s release, I still didn’t find any complaints about the update so it is recommended that everyone gets it installed.

Here is the link to the article.

For the full standalone download, get it here. (316 MB)

EDIT: Ok, I installed the update and seems to be easy and trouble free. I did do a small test to check performance. I loaded fraps and first level of Crysis before and after update. 1 FPS improvement is what I got. Still need to check on other applications but so far so good. Stay tuned.

    I downloaded it. Will reply with how it is. Though if you look it up. Most don't have any problems. It is like a normal update. Better make sure you have system restore is active prior applying the update.
