I figure pro is better, but how?

are those upgrades for windows xp home, or could they run by themselves.

If you are just going to use your computer for daily stuff and gaming, go with XP Home. If you do any networking/security stuff go for XP Pro.

Both of those are upgrades, which I do not recommend doing. To save money just buy a OEM Windows XP w/ a CD Key, you can get them very very cheap.

Heres a site detailing the differences of Home and Pro

If you're not a professional, you must be a home.

Well, that's Microsofts logic. There is little noticable difference for 99% of users... so just go with the cheapest.
