Windows Vista Ho./Prem./Ult. Retail or OEM?

mrbigsexy · 09-07-2008, 09:15 AM

I'm building a system, and I will get a Quad Core processor. I would like to make the most out of it, and am considering getting Vista, but the price is really making this decision tough.

Is Ultimate worth anything over the Home edition? I can't seem to find any specifics about what their differences are, just generalizations like "More fun", and "Keeps your hardware from failing."

Ontop of not knowing what edition to get, I don't know if I should get OEM or not. I hear that if you get OEM you make a decision between 64 or 32 bit OS, but will there be problems with the 64 bit ultimately making me switch back to the 32 bit version?

Does anyone have any recommendations out there?
