What's the latest version of SP3 hotfix?

I saw the following version of SP3 hotfix for SQL 2005.
- Cumulative Update Package 2 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 - build 9.00.4211
- Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 - build 9.00.4053

So is it enough for just applying Cumulative Update Package 2 for SQL 2005 SP3?
Thanks!

The most stable hotfix is CU1 for SQL Server 2005. Until you test CU2, dont go for applying it on production environment.

CU1 is available at the below location:

The latest hotfix was Cumulative Update 8 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 which build 9.00.4285.
What's your suggestion for applying hotfix for SP3? CU8 or CU1?
Thanks!

CU1 is the most stable upgrade which we have tested till now. However, if you have tested any other cumulative hotfixes duly, you can go ahead with that.
