Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

SP3 knocks vista into next week

SP3 for XP is out and it is great
it increases speed by about 10%
you can really notice the difference

with it xp is now said to be twice as fast as the rubbish dump that is vista

Its an update that you get (kinda like apple with the 10.X updates but there free and you dont get lots of pretty little things to play with, just mainly maintanace extra drivers, security updates)

Does that SP3 only come with 32bit? Or does it come with 64bit aswell. Or can you just download S3 by itself...

Nah there like the 10.X updates, but not every year like apple as MS get it sorta right first time and dont need multiple bites of the cherry, haha!!
