This is the 1st time I've contemplated using bootcamp to install windows on my Mac Pro and I just wanted to check that the version of Windows on the above link is the correct one I should be buying?

Thanks.

if your mac pro has more than one processor (cores dont count) then you might want xp pro or vista so you can make use of both processors

Thanks - yes I have 2 x 2.8 processors. So would going with XP Pro (I don't fancy Vista) really benefit me for when playing games?

I wouldn't know from experience, but I think that it would. Using two processors is definitely better then one. Especially if you have a Mac Pro.

XP pro is 64bit,so what about driver issues ?
