| 730016 | 2008-12-17 04:27:00 | What is the difference between the versions of vista,as in: basic,premium business(whatever).I have been offered a new pc with vista premium but do I need that over basic(any advantage?)Also is there any point in going for the 64 bit version of vista for a home pc | Peter Coleman (597) | ||
| 730017 | 2008-12-17 04:28:00 | Here's the diff (www.microsoft.com) Unless youre planning on using more than 4 GB, 32 bit should be good enough |

| 730019 | 2008-12-17 04:45:00 | Vista Home Basic does not offer many of the features (such as attractive transparent borders and Aero effects), so if the machine can handle it (ie has a dual/quad core processor and >1GB RAM), get Home premium over Basic. It's much better value for money. If the machine has >3.5GB of RAM, you'll need 64-bit Windows to see all of it, as Speedy said :) |

| 730021 | 2008-12-17 05:31:00 | Sounds good to me Pete. It depends if youre planning on getting more ram later. If youre not I would stick with 32 bit |
