What you are reading is the requirements for the "Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3 ". You have to download "Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3" and read that and you will see that SP1 minimum is needed.

SP1 is not required. You can go straight from the original XP.
According to the Microsoft page http://tinyurl.com/2denpw
"Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released
updates for the operating system."
And, under System Requirements, it can be installed on any of:
Windows XP;
Windows XP Home Edition;
Windows XP Home Edition N;
Windows XP Media Center Edition;
Windows XP Professional Edition;
Windows XP Professional N;
Windows XP Service Pack 1;
Windows XP Service Pack 2;
Windows XP Starter Edition;
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
Since XP alone is on the list, I conclude that SP1 is not required.

Hmm..that's the way I first read it as well, then everybody jumped in
and said different. Would be nice to be clarified, not having to
install SP1a would sure save a lot of time!
