I'm currently looking to purchase HP's dv2500t and I'm not sure which OS version I should get. I'm between Vista Home Premium (32bit) and Vista Ultimate (64bit). It's currently only a hundred dollars difference so price isn't a deal breaker for me although saving money is always nice.
I've heard of some compatibility issues with Vista 64bit but being that it's a notebook computer I wouldn't think I'd have to worry too much since the hardware won't be changing. Or am I overlooking something here?
The computer will be my only computer for school/surfing/light gaming/stats software SPSS (I guess I should check the compatibility for this). I'd like to get at least 4 years out of it.
So are there any pros or cons to getting either OS that I should be aware of with a new notebook?
