Hi,

> Is the Athlon CPU more desirable than the Celeron?

I'd say that the Athlon XP is a better bet than the Celeron.

> Is the additional memory (512 vs. 256) worthwhile?

Yes, 512MB makes things much smoother.

> Should I pay an additional $75 to upgrade from XP Home to XP Pro?

Unless you plan on doing a lot of secure networking, you will be fine
with XP Home, if the networking support it provides is enough.
