Games on MS Windows XP Professions or Media Center 2005

Hi,

I am buying a new laptop and I need Windows Pro so I can use IIS and create
ASP.NET web-sites.

But I also want to run games like Civ 4, Age of Empires, Age of Mythology,
Sim City 3000 etc

Will games that run on Windows XP Home edition run on Windows XP Pro?

thanks

Philip

Hi, everyone. I have a laptop computer that has XP on it. I just bought
"Age of Mythology', and it says it can't play the game because the graphics
card I ahve won't support the game. However, I can play both Age of Empires
and the expansion, plus the Age of Empires II and it's expansion. So why
can't I play Mythology, and how do I fix it so that I can play it?
Thanks for your help!
