XP Home and Professional are Versions of XP, not Service Pack numbers.

Service Packs are released via Windows update for both versions.

To see what SP you have installed on your XP Pro version, do the following:

 

Start>Right-click on My Computer>Left-click on Properties>General>It will be

there if you have Service Pack installed, and the number!

We are now up to SP3
