What Do You Reccomend?

Hey,

I am looking to upgrade this:
-AMD 4200+ X2
-400GB SATA HDD
-MSI 8600GT OC Twin Turbo
-2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 RAM

To Windows Vista OEM. However, I am trying to decide between Premium and Basic. I saw that you can enable Aero on Basic, but what would you recommend? The thing is, a computer store I know is offering Vista Basic OEM for $49.99.

Suggestions?

that would be a useable system. do you plan to game a lot on it?

Get Home Premium. Basic is missing a lot of features. Look at a comparison here:

home premium. the difference between basic and premium is huge.

Thanks, but it seems to me, besides aero (which I can enable), the only other big feature I am missing would be Media Center which I don't think I would be using.
Also, I plan to game on it.
One other thing, 32-Bit can handle up to 4GB memory right?

yea actually you can have more but just doesnt show up, programs will probably allocate and find all the memory though

for the 50 dollers i would just get the basic version thats fairly cheap.
