    Hi everyone
    Here is my config prior to my order: Are there any advatnages to having XP PRO instead of HOME? I actually have Pro and could do a fresh install (would there be disadvantages in this, and if not, what the best way to do this...I'm thinking drivers etc).

    thanks!

    Unless you have a specific need like logging into a NT Domain Controller, Home is fine for most.
