If it's a slipstream it's not on the original CD; it'll be a different
kind. If the "orginal" isn't really the original, all bets are off.
Slipstreaming is seldom worth the time investiment in getting it to work
right and especially in proving it works right so that when you need it
it will actually help you instead of just throwing errors at you.
Use an imaging software; much, much better. Besides, slipstreaming
an SP saves what, one or two clicks and a CD change? Wow.
HTH

A CD with Windows XP SP2 then slipstreamed SP3
should be the same.
Or at least on paper.
Slipstream is just the practice of applying the SP3 patch to a CD that
does not have it thus making the CD a SP3 CD.
* In theory *
Now the debate begins! I think it works like that but some say it does
not. I guess we're back to the same debate as that of IE7 does/doesn't
work when installed.
The reason for a CD slipstreamed with SP3, IIRC, is to make a CD that
will do a repair install work, as a repair install will not work with a
SP2 CD on a SP3 system. Again *if I recall correctly.*
