Give me a little help repost

I am studying the MCSE course for Win 2k and I just purchased this machine from Newegg. I had a $700 budget so tell me how I did please. I wondered if I should have gotten Win XP Professional instead of Win 2k. Thanks for your advice. I know I need more memory but I'll have to do that when the price goes down.

Nice job with components. I would have take XP Pro over the 2K Pro, but since you aren't running dual cpus XP Home would have been adequate.

The reason I got Win 2k pro is because of the MCSE course I'm studying. But I wonder if Win XP would have the same features that Win 2k pro does. Can you guys tell me which op system to go with cause mabye Newegg can change my order b4 they ship it.
