Automatic updates downloaded SP3 and I'm wondering if I should install it or if it will screw up boot camp, anyone know?

No problem installing SP 3 here. I had it installed with Boot Camp 2.0 even though Apple recommends updating Boot Camp to 2.1. No issues that I could detect. You should be OK. But to be safe, download the free WinClone and use it to backup your WinXP SP2 installation before installing SP3.

Regards.
