HI there - on Amazon they have 2 Win XP OEM's

Which one should I get for using on Bootcamp?

1. this one

and

2. this more expensive 'b' version!

Is number '2' more recent or something?

Cheers!!

I'd go for the "Home" edition as the "Pro" has extra networking facilities that you simply won't need.

Save your cash !

They're both home though - just one has a 'b' in the name and costs more

You need to know, if you are wanting to use Windows on a MacPro (I don't know what Mac is in issue here) that XP Home only supports one physical processor - if you want to use both processors on a MacPro you will need XP Professional.
Which I wish I knew before I installed Home on my pro.
