I am not sure these specs relate to you " Duo core Processor " too many little letters.However this may help.

Xp- home does not support dual processors. 

Xp- pro sp2 will support a dual processor (sp3 will probably be better)

Generally the original xp-pro install is the plain on  jane doe xp .

You may want to consider slip-streaming at least a sp 2 install disk to avoid maybe trashing something with a wrong driver, sp3 would be better to slip-stream and might save a little time.
