The ISO's -- XP x86 Service Packs:

SP1 = 288,550 KB
SP2 = 486,762 KB
SP3 = 557,932 KB


The Application downloads are slightly different:

SP2 = 272,391 KB
SP3 = 324,030 KB

Introducing facts spoils the fun, WT!

1353322 2013-09-16 10:30:00 Thanks for the helpful replies. My understanding is that WSUS Offline facilitates the downloading of the necessary files for an offline installation, so I would assume that it would fetch SP1 or 1a. Is that right? Robin S_ (86)

AFAIK, it will only grab the latest SPs and patches. It is possible that it's clever enough to grab SP1a as well - I've only ever used XP SP3 as a base install.
You should create a slipstreamed XP SP3 CD - its prety easy if you use nlite (http://www.nliteos.com/). It's a great, free tool :D
