Is it best to have Windows XP Home Edition or Pro for games?

Either works just fine. Unless you want to network more than five computers
or use some rather advanced security features that most home-users never
would use then Home's just fine for your gaming needs.

Either plays games equally well. If you have more than one user of the
system in your home, I would recommend Pro because you have more flexibility
with security.

Neither will make much difference if you're a single user gaming.

However Pro supports a much greater range of security options (for multiple
users on a single box) and can join a domain.

Microsoft have their comparison page up at
