The final SP3 release is version 5.1 build number 5512 (5.1.2600.5512) confirmed by Chris Keroack and the general public will be able to officially download it starting from April 29. The installer package from Microsoft is ~580MB.

MSDN and TechNet will only get access along with general public, not before them which caused a lot of complaints and uproar yesterday.

WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe
size 331,805,736 bytes

That's the much older one AFAIK, build 3180 RC1.

All understood.

Install & reboot success.

Current build in registry now reporting: 1.511.1 () (Obsolete data - do not use)

However lots of components installed are now .5512......

Sysem properties reports Service Pack 3 minus the build number...

Inconclusive, but no obvious harm done testing

Edit: Several places in registry now reporting version 6,0,2900,5512

[Warboy]

Confirmed!

[Biker]

Yup.

I'd say it is the real deal!

I'm still testing obviously and running deep scans but so far it has been solid....

If this changes I will report back here


Right!

Now for some slipstreaming....

[Peakr]

Just slipstreamed it using nLite.

[Kashelz]

Right!

Now for some slipstreaming....

Heh, already made slipstreamed CD, its time to test clean instalation, lets look how this thing realy works.

PS. To be more accurated, I made by myself, not nLite!

[nosboost300]

i want in :p

[KTE]

Hmm.. no idea how that one worked out [data I have could be changed?] but nevertheless install it and let us know

The file version in warboys ss [below build] is exactly that of the final release though.

Yep.

It is real.

No adverse affects or suspicous i/o activity so far

[NickS]

werd, dling

[Metroid]

I got the told website about it being 580MB instead of 330MB. However I think that the RTM version includes only the SP3 and excludes non related drivers or software, as a full executable file of 330MB.

It does look that I have all the tools to make a basic proper review about its 3D, multitasking performance.

Metroid.

[NickS]

winnar, we has one

[Nicksterr]

I'll wait about a week before I install it to see what software incompatibilities arise, and if they affect me or not.

[Metric]

Finished installing SP3 . Everything seems to be running fine and it seems to be a little more responsive as well. RAM usage seems to be down as well (75ish-MB)

I had some video issues (tearing with vsync on) in Source games, so I'll post back to see how if the problems were fixed or not.

Update: Source tearing issue seems to have been fixed.

Obviously i'll confirm if it is genuine when the download has finished

According to your words it is the straight link: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...P3-x86-ENU.exe

[RAW-Raptor22]

Great stuff thx East, another reason to stick to XP hope they will release one too for XP64... works fine here just internet exploring sucks due to numerous 3rd party probs (namely flash player)

XP64 is Server 2003, a completely different operating system. The SPs are on different intervals as well.

Heh.

Don't be fooled by them then

The download has had the same filename for a while..... think of them more like clues to where the RTM might be found
