Any reason to get Pro for a pure gaming rig?

Because it makes you a professional. Using home just makes you homo.

Home limits you to 5 network connections.  Pro has unlimited connections.  That is the primary difference.

I've had luck gaming with XP Home on my main rig.  Networking is more complicated and configurable with XP Pro but you may not need all that.  You get to hunt down and turn off more unnecessary servers with XP Pro.  I think I still have a motd server on my XP Pro rig and it wasn't really obvious how to turn it off.

XP Home is cheaper and works just fine with AH, AH2, and AH H2H.  YMMV, but I haven't yet found a reason to wish I'd put XP Pro on my game rig.

Unless you have a specific reason in mind that you just absolutly need pro (dual processor support, encrypt your porno folder from wife for example:eek: )

The only difference is $100.00

For pure gaming go for XP Home.
Unless you need to connect to a domain, in which case use Pro.
