Default Re: Upgrading to Vista But

all of the vista versions will run the same, the high "grade" you go up, the more features it has....some features you will never need in the higher...

vista basic could be ok...but you should go with premium
Windows Vista: Compare Editions

One of the main reasons why your Ultiamte install goes slow after 2 weeks is cause you use a pirated version. A fresh clean install of Vista Ultimate with a legit ISO wouldnt do that. The pirated ones all have something wrong with them.

Believe me i know since i got my legit version now. I noticed that Vista Ultiamte would take more RAM, HDD space, and lag after running it for just a couple of days. This was using a pirated version with a BIOS Crack. But after getting my MSDN and a real M$ ISO of Vista i found that it doesnt act anything like it. I ran it for over 2 weeks without any lag or aything.

Ohh you got one of those TechNet Trial subs. Well then i dont know what you have done. Cause my Ultimate install doesnt lag. I have been running it for over a month without any hitches. Maybe cause your system is kinda on the weak side. Espically for Ultimate.
