No, stick with Professional if you're not doing anything productive like running business apps.

PS : AdvSer is when you have multiCPU, more than 4 GB of RAM and mainly only servers running on your box, so what do you think ?

I guess what I meant to ask is if one is going to run any faster than the other? For example, am I going to get 20 fps more in Quake 3 in Professional than Advanced? Right now I have Advanced, and it seems great, but soon I'll have Pro too. Naturally I haven't paid for either, but that's ok since it's a Microsoft product.
I have a copy of both also but I havent installed server to see how well games play on it. In my opinion Pro would probably run games better, though Im not sure.
Well, since it's so easy to botch a Win2K install I'm sure I'll be beta testing Pro no matter what soon anyways I just wonder if it's worth it. Now that I finally got the Live! working I don't want to touch anything.
