giantpotato Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm pretty sure the "reliable source" is Neowin. https://www.neowin.net/news/main/08/04/15/w...3-release-dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 hopefully it gets released soon. Waiting for it so i can format some computers. Same here, I got a machine in need of a format but I'm hanging out for SP3. Shouldn't be too much longer now, next Tuesday (well Wednesday for us Aussies) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirwode Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Same here, I got a machine in need of a format but I'm hanging out for SP3. Shouldn't be too much longer now, next Tuesday (well Wednesday for us Aussies) :) My notebook is giving me trouble as well but I don't want to format it just yet, not until SP3 is out.

Raa Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 on betanews ms denied the 04/21-04/29 timeframe. they said "first half of 2008". Microsoft are always going to do that.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentthief Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 its looking like it wont be out today, its 18:04 GMT now, normally ms releases are out at the very latest of 6pm uk time and as ms denied it then its looking like it aint coming. MS says they dont confirm speculation when leaks are correct, when they deny things they really are denying them. I need you XP SP3, please come out already!!!!!!!!!

fkid Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Unfortunately, Neowin was somewhat incorrect with today's release. It's only RTM, not Technet/MSDN subscribers today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martog Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 does sp3 support 4gb of ram or only 3gb of ram Nope, XP SP3 is for the 32bit version, you need to get XP x64 or Vista x64 if you want to fully use 4GB of RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
