No. If you don't want Windows, then don't install it.
Yes.
Windows XP Pro is an operating system. As for the SP3 extension, I believe the Service Pack is just a set of updates for the OS.
You can upgrade to SP3 without a CD. You cannot install the entire system from scratch without a CD. yes. first install XP sp2 with CD, then upgrade via Internet.
you must first upgrade to widnows xp SP3.
yes. yes.
Depends. Windows requires that you have SP1 installed and recommends you have SP2 installed, but SP2 it is not necessary, in order to install SP3. So if you have just SP1 installed you are going to get SP2 and all subsequent updates along with SP3. If you have SP2 installed the SP3 update is around 16.1 MB. If you have only SP1 installed the download will be as much as 57.5 MB. It all depends on what you already have installed. I suggest you install SP2 before installing SP3. I also suggest you let Automatic Updates install this at a time when you are not on the computer. If you are on Dial-Up, order SP3 CD from Microsoft.
Windows xp does not have native support for SATA interface (except SP3). You have to download SATA interface driver from the motherboard/computer website and use F6 installation procedure.
sp3 is the 3rd service pack (a collection of fixes and patches) for some version of Windows. service packs can't run by themselves, they must be installed on top of an already running compatible version of Windows.sp3 for XP will not install on Vista and vice versa.
No.
it's already out. check the website and search for SP3.
You need Windows XP installed before you can install Service Pack 3. However, if your installation media already contains Service Pack 3, then you do not need to worry about installing it since it will already be installed.
