Default Win XP, Home, Pro, 32, 64???

Hello, I keep looking everywhere, but I'm having a hard time deciding what OS I will use on my new computer. I finally decided upon Windows XP instead of Vista, but now do not know if I would rather have Home or Pro, and 32 or 64 bit. I will be gaming with my new computer, and it has 4GB of RAM, which I want to use fully. I don't really need lots of extras with my OS. My main criteria are ease of use and being able to use my 4GB RAM. Can anyone tell me which they think I should choose, and why? Thanks.

Hi dianek and welcome to PCHF! If you are wanting to use all 4gb or ram 64 bit is the only way to go, and the only 64bit version of XP is
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

OK, thank you very much! I don't see why other people can't lay it out that simply.
