Reason i ask is because newegg started selling Win XP SP3 on CD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116511
I think it is supposed to include all the previos updates that were a part of SP 1 & 2. And it's only $10 more than the SP2 CD. I need an OS for a pc that i'm building for my uncle and he doesn't want to go Vista (and i can't blame him for that). So anyway, i've been reading about people having problems with SP3, do you guys think that i'll be taking a chance by buying a SP3 CD for a fresh install of the OS or these problems only affect people that add SP3 to existing XP installs? I would welcome some advice.
