Hi gang,I just recently reformatted my older machine running on XP.It's running like new again and am wondering about the SP3 upgrade.I'm constantly being reminded with the annoying update; is it worth it? Also if it's installed and causes problems,would it be easy to remove? I'm usually on my Vista machine and haven't paid much attention to the older system.Thanks for any response.

I say update, I have SP3 running on my XP machine and it's great. I love it. Plus it bundles in all those security updates from SP2 up to SP3 release into one big update. Also Microsoft claims that it's increases performance by 10% (which I haven't seen).

Oh...sorry about that. I remember beat testing SP3 at my old work and I was able to remove that without any problems. I assume it would be the same for the final product.
