nod32 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Just a quick google search A few sites worth checking out: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/ho.../choosing2.mspx http://www.ucs.ed.ac.uk/usd/scisup/faq/homevspro.html http://www.worldstart.com/tips/tips.php/1433 And in terms of is it worth upgrading you have to look at what you'll be needing it for. But usually the answer is no. Be sure to check the sites above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I've found Pro handles memory better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod32 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yes, please. It's the first time I've heard of this and I'm interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I've used identical machines (Minus the OS) where it was Home and Pro. I mean all the hardware, everything was the same. Yet I found that Pro loaded things faster, etc. Could be cause of the extra features too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 There's a lot of factors in that... Prefetch, RAM, HD, system startup (registry, startup folder) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Professional is also better at networking. If you have Home but can upgrade to Professional for free then it might be worth it. If you have Home but consider buying Professional then its definitly not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capman Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 wizKid1, Please only post when it is relevant to the topic, the discussion was about XP Home or XP Pro. Windows Media Center has not even been questioned. Whilst I am at it Eldmannen, how can someone upgrade from Home to Pro for free? We dont discuss illegal software or means of obtaining software illegally here, hence the pinned Freeware Topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCleaner Forums needs a Recycle Bin to move posts to that the admin and moderation consider junk/crap/useless/way off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
