The decision is ultimately yours. While I and others on this list have updated to SP3 and it's running well, it's not been entirely free of installation and running issues. You might want to read all the other comments on SP3 in the CGuys archives to get a better viewpoint. As for me, I would install it again, knowing what I know now, but that's me. Before installing SP3, just make sure that all of the other Windows Updates are installed and the computer is running OK. You are backed up, aren't you?
