I will be installing a new copy of Windows XP 64-bit in a few days. The
package says it has SP2. I thought I would then install SP3,then use
Windows Update. Am I correct that the updates that are put out
periodically are the same for 64-bit as for the 32-bit versions? Or are
there different updates for the 64-bit version?

Thanks
Ken K

So I am best off just using Windows update for the 64-bit system?
