Hello,
Have you download it ? What are yours first impressum?
Any change related to Boinc and in particuler Optimized Seti Apps?
Please give me your feed back, I will make trials too.
Thanks
Good Crunch

Hi Emmdeb,
I have not tried XP SP3, but my understanding is that it is mostly the cumulation of security updates and a handful of others since SP2. The scope of change is not as nearly comprehensive as from the initial release pack to SP2.
OS overhead is rather small nowadays. You shouldn't notice any real difference in crunching performance between SP2 and SP3, but since I haven't tried it yet, I won't say this is a 100% guarantee. If you discover anything different, please let us know.
EDIT: As a follow-up, you may want to see this new thread on main
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=44200There are some recent patches and also potential network changes w/ SP3 that
may play some havoc w/ BOINC.
Might be a good idea to watch and see what others experience as well as "fixes" before diving in early.
Good Luck!
