Not necessarily so, just because you are OK doesn't mean all is fine with others, a lot depends on what is installed on the PC to begin with and what kind of motherboard and drivers you have. I did a test install at work on 6 PC's running XP Pro SP 2 and upgraded them to SP3 the result, three were fine with absolutely no problems, 3 on the other hand died right then and there, the started getting the BSOD even in safe mode, so they had to be formatted and the OS re-installed . With that result SP3 will not be installed for a while until Microsoft get their act together. My two home PC's have SP3 and they are fine, the ones at work have Active Directory networking which not the same as home edition networking and that makes a huge difference I have noticed over the years.
