sp3 : Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers
If the slipstreaming works like in SP2 you would not need any tools the SP pack it self can update the cd.

so, 3 different coasters later, i still can't get my sp3 disk to boot
 anybody help? i've used the nlite process, and it seemed to be rather simple. it did its thing, and afterwards, the folder i created i *should* just copy those files over to my burning program (Nero), and burn a CD. i've done that before and it's worked fine before. but not now this time

it wouldnt update on windows update on mine, showed it as there, but it kept failing..
i just went for the direct download....from here.. Download Windows XP Service Pack 3: XP SP3 (Full package) its installed on mine now, and weirdest thing is, i seem to have gained performance in windows in general....speedwise. god knows why... other ppl on the net mention performance gains, so it cant just be mine...........
