Differences between XP home and Pro.

tycho4511 · Jun 23, 2003

I am curious what advantages if any Pro offers in terms of overclocking or anything else really. I am currently using Home but I can get Pro for $95 at school. I mainly use my system for games. Thanks

This is for my new system:

XP 1700+ DLT3C
NF7-S
512 3200 Corsair RAM
R9500 NP

There are many threads about this already, I wouldsuggest using the search function, or just plain trawling.

The only real difference is Pro has more networking and security control.

And Pro can handle more than 1 CPU.

Those are the biggies. Home lacks the encrypted file system, the ability to join a domain, and lacks support for 2 physical cpus.

Group policy (gpedit = real control)
