SP3 only speeds up Office-applications or so I have heard.

Actually Win7 is supposed to run more smoothly than XP.

well the thing is, IF i'd install win7, then surely the 64bit version as i have a big amd phenomII cpu .. wud be a waste not using 64bit .. and i doubt everything from winxp 32bit runs
smoothly on a win7 64bit :-(

habe mich heute gewundert, als ich mitbekommen hab, dass du noch sp2 benutzt.

benutzt du den rechner hauptsächlich privat oder auch beruflich?
wenn du ihn auch zum arbeiten benutzt wär mir der upgrade-stress (auf > xp) ebenfalls zu viel.
