For Games: XP Home vs XP Professional

Hank Solo
Has anyone tested performance for games between the Home version and the Professional version? All I hear is that the difference between the two is the ability to join domains (and associated tasks).

Enemy Engaged Freaking Out in XP

mmz114
Does anyone here play the game Enemy Engaged: Comanche vs. Hokum. I have a extremely weird problem with it in XP. When I am running the game in Free Flight mode, everything runs fine. When I play in campaign mode, everything is fine as long as I am playing Recon or Transfer type missions.

WinXP Pro and Clusterball

clutch
Anybody here play clusterball? I just installed the gold release (I had it when it first came out, but never messed with it) and I can't run in 1024x768. Not that it's a big deal, but I was just wondering if anybody else had this problem.
