So I've rebuilt my home PC and used XP Pro this time because I had an extra copy laying around and I thought it might be more stable. Does anyone use XP Pro at home? Have you encountered any problems with gaming related things? I'm wondering if I'll have a few problems with drivers. I've already noticed an error with my video card that I never encountered with Home, but it's not a deal breaker.

I've only ever used XP Pro. It is my understanding that as far as games and video drivers and such are concerned, Pro == Home. Home just has certain limitations, like only 3 pc's allowed on the network, etc.

I only use XP Pro as well. No issues whatsoever.
It's not me, it's someone else.
