Did XP Pro x64 Bit have a Genuine Service Pack 3 for download and making an integrated installation CD/DVD ????
---
Cannot find anything but x64 Bit Service Pack 2 and a couple of post important Hot-fixes for inclusion in an integrated installation and / or Deployment CD/DVD package.
---
Please Post a Link if x64 Service Pack 3 [ exist ] on MS Site.

Thanks Much,
Rick P.

Rick, I had seen the same thing -- no Service Pack 3 in evidence for XP 64-bit. I had never understood why until I just did the research.

The 64-bit kernel used in XP comes from Windows Server 2003. Notice that Service Pack 2 for 64-bit XP and Server 2003 are the same image. Since there are no plans for a Service Pack 3 update to the x64 kernel, neither Server 2003 nor XP 64-bit will be getting an SP3.

That's exactly what I was finding and thinking.

Have 10 brand new Genuine MS Copies of Pro x64 I found in "junk" room and need to slipstream at least a couple for back-up O/Ses.

Am Out of MS CALS for 32 Bit Pro. :(
