this NEW one says its 544meg and the previous 5512 was only 316meg (324 on my PC )

TechnoHunter, you are quite right on that, but surely making an ISO doesn't add 220meg

is this any use.... 5512.080413-2113 ???? is part of the ISO file name

The additional amount comes from optional tools which were updated but aren't required for normal day-to-day XP installations. Stuff in the Support folder, et cetera. We've been through this a few times. I have personally compared the actual .exe of the SP3 which is on that .ISO to the standalone .exe you can download, and they are identical.

Also, slipstreaming SP3 to an XP source disc won't update the optional stuff, you would have to copy those over manually.

How to get the updated support tools without the SP3 base image?

Unfortunately, that is what the bigger download is for. I do not think they release the updated optional stuff separately.
