Home Basic x64 or Home Premium x64
Forget for a minute how good or bad Vista is. It's what I'm going with when I build my new system. I have both Vista Home Basic x64 and Vista Home Premium x64 on disk. I have been running Home Basic x64 on a slightly underpowered machine for about six months. So, among other things and because it's been underpowered, I'm no judge to say whether or not it's stable. So I was just wondering if anyone has heard if Premium is any more or less stable than Home Basic?

Specs
Sorry, I should have clarified that more. First of all though, I was never able to get any confirmation from MSI whether Vista x64 would would work on it or not. Some of their techs said it would, some didn't. So I have that always hanging over me.
As far as the specs...the motherboard is an MSI K8MM3-VH, the processor is an AMD Athlon x64 2.2 GHz, 2 GB's DDR Kingston RAM, EVGA NVidia 256 MB AGP video card, Creative Audigy sound card, two 80 GB Seagate IDE hard drives, 1 LG DVD Burner, 1 LG DVD-ROM, Thermaltake 430 watt PSU. So when I say "a little underpowered" I was mostly thinking about the RAM. From everything I have heard, it would run much better with at least 4 GB's of RAM |

That machine is not under powered. You have plenty of power to run vista. However if you are having problems with it, I'd recomend going with Windows 7 on that machine. You'd really be happy that you did. It stable and is much much faster. (Yeah, I know its still in beta)
I dont think you'd be able to tell any difference in the way Basic and Premium works. There is more features in Premium. Thus, no performance gain at all. |
