Vista Versions Chart

Thanks for the link! Although it's not real clear about what networking functionality Home Basic has compared to Home Premium.
 
Thanks for the link indeed. Best info I've seen so far. 😎

Edit: date at bottom is March 2006.:Q
 
Wow... I know that the Starter version is intended for poorer countries, but it almost seems Mircosoft went out of their way to cripple it. Setting a max resolution at 1024x768 and a maximum RAM of 256mb makes it seem like they just want this version to fail.
 
The idea for starter i think is to put into machines for poor countries, so they can't afford the better hardware anyways.... although the 256mb memory i believe is a little excessive, 512 would be acceptable in my opinion.

So does that mean an AMD 4x4 will require either a business OS, or Ultimate?
Yep, you need an OS licensed for two sockets, which are Business, Enterprise or Ultimate.
 
Note that a quad-core CPU like the Intel Kentsfield will work with any of the SKUs, since it is a single socket.
