windows vista question
Genuine Windows Vista Ultimate [add $85.00]
Genuine Windows Vista Business 64 [add $25.50]
Genuine Windows Vista Business [add $25.50]
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic [subtract $41.65]
which would you go with and why. I have to get vista, so don't give me the xp pro route
h: I was looking at the Business 64 since I will be running a 64 bit processor. I just don't know if that is going to provide me with what I need as opposed to just running the 32 bit version of say vista home premium.

64 is more of a pain since not every driver for the thinkpad will work 100%
i'd go with 32.

"The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista—available for all editions of Windows Vista except Starter"
Do the 64 bit and 32 bit come on the same disks?

Retail Vista has 32 and 64 bit on it.
Its better to go with 32 bit as more support in regards to drivers is around.
Its been proven that 64 bit is faster than 32 bit but again the support is lacking.
32 bit Windows will only allow you to use 4gb of memory where 64 bit allows more.
Home Premium is good enough for most people but if you want all the bells and whistles go with Ultimate.
