Gaming and XP SP3

I have seen that a few of the recent games require Windows XP SP3 as the minimum. I was just wondering whether these games (like Prototype) will run on XP SP2.

Or is it a must for me to upgrade to SP3? Are there any performance benefits in games if I do upgrade to SP3?

Any inputs are much appreciated.

i'd say that they would work given that u have the latest DirectX ...but they might be a bit unstable
