Yes. You can use the XP Pro upgrade disk or the full install. If you can afford it, go with the full install because it provides some additional operating system features not on the upgrade.
Also, if you ever need to uninstall and reformat for any reason, better to have the full install disk.
This site has some good prices for both kinds of disks and an excellent tech support staff.

Yes you can install XP pro over XP home. Install in the same directory as that of home edition. Home will be uninstalled automatically. But you cannot install xp home after installing xp pro
