    I downloaded XP SP3 (the 316Mb file) on 02/05/2008 or Friday last week. All is fine and no problems except slightly slower boot times.

    How do I know that it is build 5512 though?

    Please see this article: http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=AB627213-17A4-0F78-314E27285E8FA835

    A liitle bit :confused: here as I cannot locate the 5512 build number anywhere on the downloaded files properties etc.

    Any input much appreciated

    Cheers,
    Theo
