Well, I haven't had the guts to actually install it yet as my system is running quite fine, but there is rumor going on that it actually gives a performance boost (like 10%) in all services. Now if you ask me, 10% boost is quite good, I would want that. So anyone has experienced it! Does it even install in pirated versions?

you can find it on direct download at guru3d.com

I will install SP3 as soon as I get hold of it! Make a Ghost Image of your current Windows. In case any thing goes wrong, you can get back from the image file you create.
