Windows XP SP3 RC2 Publicly Available
Microsoft has now made the second release candidate of Windows XPs third service pack available to the public, which can be obtained via Windows update after downloading a registry patch from Microsoft. You can download the registry patch here [38KB], but before you do so it is recommended that you remove any previous beta or release candidate version of SP3 from your system. The RTM version of the service pack should become available during the first half of 2008.

they won't, from what i hear, direct x 10 isnt compatable with the kernel in xp. there are some projects online that will allow you to play dx10 games in xp but will not take advantage of it. another alternative is to buy lots of ram, get a copy of vista, and hack the shit out of it.

none.....its built totally diff....it wont integrate...the way dx10 was designed the code simpy doesnt match up and even if they did come up with a type of port is would probably be emultaed...imagine 3 way sli 9800GX2's a sweet quad oc'd to like 4.2ghz...and crysis will still run at like 10fps....because it would probably be extremely slow in buggy..IF it worked.

XP SP2: 11,998
XP SP3 RC2: 11,970 After you average about 10 runs each together, I'm sure they are about the same. Everything with the update went smoothly.

Here's the link for the IT standalone install. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
For those that got the popup and disappear problem that was me too. I just used the full version above. Not sure why the online version wasn't working for us. |

That's is a little bit odd... The result should be better no? I think i read an article some time ago that said the perfomance increase could be up to 30%... Not sure if they are talking about gpu or cpu perfomance....
