Which Windows?

Post by mshail »

Hi gang. I am planning on building a backup system. I am going to use a K6-III+450, 728 mb of memory and a Geforce2 mmx400 (pci video card). My question is. Should I use Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional?

I'd go with Pro. It has some extra features that Home lacks. (Don't ask me what, cause I don't use Home.)

I don't think it will make a performance difference either way, but you can see what features Pro offers over Home here.
