    Arie, your Post regarding Installing SP3 (highlighted in Red) suggests Downloading KB953356 to overcome possible problem with start due to non-Intel CPU. I have 5 comps with AMD CPU's and all operating with SP3 and I have not experienced any troubles on start up. Do I need to Download and install this KB? Neil.:confused:

    No.

    This update is only for those PCs which have an AMD CPU but were installed using image for Intel CPUs.

    If your computers are working AFTER Sp3, you are safe & don't need it.
