XP Pro has everything XP Home does and then some.
Do you want everything Pro has or not? Home is cheaper, but if you're looking into SMP you will have to have XP Pro.

...with Pro you can't play A LOT of games because it's NT. Something that doesn't occur with Xp Home.

;( You do know that both XP Home and Pro are based on the same NT codebase don't you? Microsoft have killed off Win9x for good. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say.

Not to flame or anything, but YOU ARE A FREAKIN IDIOT. Once you move to the NT code, you realize that 9x does suck. NT's only real disadvantage comes when software comapanies decide to be an arse about it and not do or poorly do an implementation of it on NT.
Oh, and whatever you're smoking---send me some of that!!

Well, calling somebody a "FREAKING IDIOT" would classify as a flame, regardless of the disclaimer. Plus, both OSs share the same NT core anyway so he was more wrong on THAT account than by saying games don't run well on NT.
Now, I would have been more of the mindset of Palos, and that since Home has less services running by default that it would have more resources to give for gaming. But, since I only use Pro (and can disable services if I REALLY want to as EddiE indicated), I would have to vote "Pro".
