Thank you, Kayman! I had been looking for a way to do this, but all I could
find was something about purchasing the CD (which I figured would take too
long). I'll do it tonight, since the download is likely to take a long time.
A few more questions:

* Will Microsoft allow me to put the image file wherever I want it on my
hard drive?

Sure, wherever you want to; It's your PC and the download is unrestricted.

* Once I've burned it to a CD, would I install it on the new computer
directly from the CD rather than copying it to the hard drive and installing
it from the hard drive?

Install SP3 from the 'burnt' CD. SP3 should then show in your 'Add or
Remove Programs' panel.

* Should I delete the image file from the old computer when I'm done? (Is
there any value to keeping it there?)

Yes, you can delete it. Once SP3 is installed you can keep the CD Image
File.
