<SPAN 
class=499024523-26102001>I'm not sure it matters any more. That is, unlike the 
differences between Win98 and Win2K which were developed completely separately 
(Win 3.1 -> Win95 -> Win98 -> WinME as distinct from WinNT -> 
Win2K), WinXP is finally the long overdue merging of the two product streams. 
Therefore, apart from different networking and other feature deliveries of the 
two base product types - XP Home and XP Pro - (and therefore asking prices)I 
would suspect basic compatibilities like those required for game playing would 
essentially be much the same (between XP Home and XP Pro). This is my assumption 
only, so better informed corrections are certainly 
welcomed.

Thanks TJ 256 k memory should be enough 
..
 
I was looking at the Home version of xp which I 
think is more along the lines of win 98 as the kids use the pc too so it needs 
to run the older games etc 
 
I guess dual booting is an option

Hello,
 
No, I haven't tested AmiBroker on Windows XP 
yet, but it was tested on Win2000
so there should be no problems.
 
Are you switching to XP? Just be warned that 
the XP itself allocates 96 MB at startup!
Don't install it if you have less than128MB 
RAM, otherwise you will get constant
disk drive spinning.
 
Best regards,
