Whats the difference between XP PRO and Home?

[EclipseJP]

And is it even worth the upgrade?

The biggest difference pertaining to overclocking would probably be the fact that XP home only supports single processor PC's while XP Pro supports dual CPU systems. I believe Pro has some additional components for network environments as well.

Yep, and I'm not sure Home supports NTFS; I think it does though..

Pro includes alot more features for power...

Home version supports NTFS also . Is it worth the upgrade? Some people say yes and some say no. Personally I like it, but my only gripe with it is the firewall, it is good at blocking incoming traffic, but tends to let ALOT of stuff out that is operating system related...makes me wonder if its calling home. I know its not auto updates either, because I always keep that stuff off. I use Tiny Firewall as a second firewall.

So if I get one I should just get the PRO. What kind of stuff for power do you mean?

yes the firewall is weak, after all its Microsoft, that's why people use another firewall on top of it

This has come up many times before. I suggest that you use the search button on the top left of your screen and search for such a thread. Or check out the microsoft website.

EDIT: Top right (whoops )
