SP3 for Windows XP 64?

[boe]

Hello,

I've given up on Vista ever running as fast as XP can even on the best
hardware so I'm going to put XP on the system I'm building. It is a Quad
core with 4 gigs of ram. I've never tried XP 64 so I thought I'd give it a
try. Will SP3 be available for it at the same time as SP3 is for 32 XP?

There is no SP3 for XP Pro x64. It is a different OS from 32bit XP. 32bit
XP is NT5.1. XP Pro x64 is NT5.2 and shares its codebase with Windows
Server 2003. Both XP64 and WS2k3 are at service pack level two for NT5.2.
No SP3 has been announced for NT5.2. SP2 for NT5.2 came out less than a
year ago.
