How is Windows Pro better?

post #1 of 21
Thread Starter 
How exactly is Windows xp pro better for gaming than Windows home? Is it more optimised for graphics, does it free up memory(less processes)? Just curious.
post #2 of 21
pro has extended networking capabilities for business related function, there is no other difference between the two but price. Anything that asks for Pro like studio max and maya will function on home.

Pro also has dual CPU support and if you want to set up a server at your house or work you will need IIS that home version does nor have. Remote access so you can use your PC from another XP or Win2K pro PC.

system restore is also more robust

IIRC, you need Pro for support of a HyperThreaded processor (Of it's HT features I mean). Though I could be mistaken.

Incorrect, both Home and Pro support Hyperthreading.

pro has local security policy, home does not.

Man, I think I answer this question once a week...

Windows XP Home supports 1 processor.
Windows XP Pro supports 1-2 processors. (Dual Xeon, Dual Athlon MP, Dual Opteron, etc...)

Windows XP is Hyper-Threading aware. This means if a processor supports it XP Home will act like there are two processors in the computer. On Xp Pro if you have two hyper-threaded Xeons, XP will act like there is four processors even though Pro only supports 2.

Wow NoName, you're mean, stupid, and annoying. I've only had to deal with 2-3 of your posts (while scanning the forums) but as of now I find them pointless and mean. If you really need to make fun of someone, go do it elsewhere. You're the kind of person that ruins a good forum, full of good people...

It was a joke retard...did you not see all the damn funny's at the bottom

I'm sorry...I should have said JOKE...as some people *you* have a stick up your ass...

LOL

Get some sex and leave me alone...

DON'T CRY AS THIS WAS JUST A LAME JOKE... I found that on the net and wanted to use it....I should use one on you

Oh I did see them, but it was still uncalled for... and you really didn't need to say joke or anything of the sort, but a sincere response would have gone over a lot better. I don't see why anyone should say that kind of thing (even in jest)... I'm not crying, and don't really care because it really was a lame joke. And while it was amusing, it was not needed... How about we all just get along??

The funny thing is, who was it directed to anyway? Such long fields and not a name field in sight. Also the fact that that form seemed tailored for an anime forum (fricken' Japanese cartoons!) kind of makes it laughable.
