Hi all !

I have 2 copies of XP SP3 files.

One has the file size of 331,805,736 bytes, while the other one is
352,430,632 bytes.

Both having the exact same name -- windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe

Can anyone tell me which one is correct?

Thank you !!

When in doubt, get the official one from Microsoft. This is the US Version:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

(Note that it's a different size than either of yours.)

Afterwards, you may want to install the MUI (Multilingual User Interface)
package:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Right, (I forgot to translate the size to the actual size) 331,805,736 is
the one that's on the Microsoft site.
