Story: AMD systems thrown by XP SP3 update

Thankfully, it worked for me

I installed XP SP3 on my Lifebook S2110, which has an AMD Turion 64 CPU, with no problems. Whew. After what I have been through with Vista on the Lifebook S6510 (and the S2110, for that matter, although not as much), I would have been really unhappy if SP3 had caused problems.

I wish that I could say that I am surprised and/or disappointed to hear that Microsoft knew about this potential problem, and probably could have figured out a way around it, yet they neither made the situation much more obvious nor made the effort of resolve it. Unfortunately, I am neither - about all I can say is that I am disgusted, as usual.
