Upgrading SP2 to SP3

How long did it take you to upgrade from SP2 to SP3? When I went from
SP1 to SP2 it took 2-3 hours.

I only have 512M Ram and only 10G if disk space so I'm not sure if I
should upgrade to SP3.

Hello Richard:

Bringing another parameter to a very questionable system like yours
will further muddy the waters. See /all/ your other threads before
you add to your troubles.

Many posters to these newsgroups have brought about extra work for
themselves by not cleaning up their systems first before applying SP3.
They also fail to sufficiently study and implement the Microsoft
prescribed prerequisites before they begin.

Yes - your system is somewhat resource starved. Don't try applying
SP3 till your system is running well again.

Regards,

Pete

Finish repairing, cleaning up and backing up your system (per your other
many postings throughout the Microsoft newsgroups) and *then* - once
everything is running well and backed up - turn your concern to updating to
SP3.
