Vista Home vs. Vista Ultimate

colt1911 · 08-30-2007, 03:30 AM

In the 64bit OS is there alot of difference between these two . If I bought Home premium would I loss any performance over buying Ultimate or would I just be saving money? OEM version of course.

Actually, you'd probably get better performance off of Home Premium

. Ultimate is just a bunch of little "goodies" that make it look better. However, those goodies can take up extra processing power.

i wouldn't go less than Premium. Basic is well.... Basic.. nothing to it at all, none of the "goodies" ^^

Yeah , I just put this system together except for updating my video cards and a new PSU, so I was thinking about Home Premium 64 bit and getting either a 8800gts or two 8600gts's along with this psu (ANTEC NeoPower 650 NeoPower650 650W ) what do you think? Will there be many issues with the 64 bit OS like drivers and software?

just think of basic as XP HOME its the same thing

colt1911 · 08-30-2007, 04:42 AM

I think I'll try the Ultimate 64 bit . I hope the psu I picked will be enough for the 2 8600gts cards and the rest of my system.

Theres no difference in performance. The only major differences are that Home Premium can only support 16GB of RAM, whereas Ultimate can use up to 128GB.

The only other difference is that Ultimate has several other "goodies" and extras.
