BTW, I actually ordered the SP3 disk from MS. They only charge for the shipping (the CD is free).

Current installation procedure is:

1. XP Home Edition with SP2.
2. XP SP3 immediately after.
3. MB drivers
4. Video Drivers
5. Sound Drivers.
6. Printer Drivers.

I consider SP3 part of the OS, so it gets layered right on top of a fresh installation of the XP operating system.

Definately install SP3.

BTW, I tried installing it on my aunt's older Dell, and it wouldn't install properly. Had to use the restore point to put it back to "before SP3". However, if you're running current hardware, SP3 should provide no problems at all.
