WinXP home question

Quote:
Dynamic Disk Support - Windows XP Professional (like its Windows 2000 equivalent) supports dynamic disks, but Home Edition does not (instead, HE supports only the standard Simple Disk type). Dynamic disks are not usable with any OS other than Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro, and they cannot be used on portable computers. Likewise, Home Edition does not include the Logical Disk Manager.
This was taken from:

My question is does that only mean i can't do things like partitioning and creating virtual drives. I plan on using raid 0 (or whichever one is striping) and want to make sure i won't be limited.

Multi-processor support - Windows XP Pro supports up to two microprocessors, while Home Edition supports only one.
Does this mean that HT is disabled??

I believe it only means that with Home, you cannot run a physical dual CPU setup.
