    My computer guru said I didn't need Sp3 but that's all I can tell you.

    Thanks. If your guru said we don't need it, I won't get it.

    SP3 is NOT about performance but about 100 odd security updates issued by Microsoft after SP2. If you have all of them installed, you don't need SP3.

    Well that's a fair way off [2010 I mean].

    By that time I presume most of us would have moved to Vista if not to Windows 7 :rolleyes:
