The informations flows within a computer from the hard disk to the Southbridge chip(drive controller) on the motherboard then it goes to the Northbridge Chip (system memory controller) then it goes to the DRAM Chips (on the memory stick) then it goes to the CPU Chip Level 2 Cache Buffer SRAM then it goes to the CPU Chip Level 1 Primary Execution Cache Buffer SRAM Memory then it goes to the CPU Chip Execution Units for Processing and gets sent back to the Northbridge which either sends it back to the RAM to be stored for later use or through the AGP Slot (Accelerated Graphics Port) into the VRAM, then on to the GPU (graphics controller), then on to the RAMDAC which converts it to a signal which can be interpreted by your display.

Will downloading Windows XP Service Pack 3 restore your computer?

It depends on what you mean by "restore." If you mean getting back your data or reverting changes in general, then no. If you mean fixing a number of situations involving system files, then maybe. Sometimes after removing a virus infection or running bad utilities, or encountering random problems, reinstalling the service pack may be just what is needed. If the problems are more deeply rooted, then a complete Windows reinstall or at least a restore to a known good time would be what is needed. But neither will reinstalling the service pack nor all of Windows recover any lost user data.
