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.

 

what computer are u getting :O

 

well I was supposed to be getting the T60p, but my father heard from a little bird that the T61 coming out was gonna be a better choice, and feature the new intel chipset so I waited. Now I am pricing and ordering. Info as follows.


Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7300 (2.0GHz 800MHz 4MBL2)
Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista Business 64
Display type: 14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/o Camera
System graphics: nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M
Total memory: 2 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory
Keyboard: Keyboard US English
Pointing device: UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad)

Either business or ultimate, I think ultimate has all the features of the others.

 

64 is more of a pain since not every driver for the thinkpad will work 100%

i'd go with 32.

do you have to go the geniune way? :rick:

 

my girl just got a new hp laptop that has vista. i kinda like it.

 

i <3 my T60 and im sure Anthony <3 his T43

 

I have home premium and so far it has accomplished everything I need an OS to do. The aero interface is nice.

"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.
