Question about new sytem with windows XP

[GameBreaker]

I just purchased a new desktop system. It is a decent system with AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+ dual core and 2GB DDR Ram and 250 GB hard drive. Not top of the line I know...but none the less a decently powerful system.

I am going to install Windows XP Home Edition. I dont really intend to do much multi-media stuff on this system and I am not sure why I would need XP Pro.

So, my question is am I somehow limiting the performance of my system by only in stalling the XP Home Edition?

Thanks guys.
