Re: Advice" Decline XP SP 3 for now!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I think you may be over exaggerating the issues surrounding SP3
The real issue is not the service pack, but rather the idiot OEMs who used the same image for intel machines as they did for AMD machines. This is not an issue with the service pack
And the fix is pretty well documented

I don't have OEM machines, but I do have an AMD based machine. I've been beta testing since Beta 1 release and only filed 1 bug. That bug was not present in the RTM version.

So rather than push the panic button...as always...test before widely deploying

Don't rush to install. there are too many issues.
We had some issues with AMD processors, we found out later that it is a
problem. Lucky for us we have images so we can restore.
You might want to check the XP NG before you try.
