For a home system which Vista version should I get?

32-bit Home Premium
32-bit Ultimate
64-bit Home Premium
64-bit Ultimate

Personally, I went with Vista Ultimate. It arrived with two DVD's, one
with the 32-bit version and one with the 64-bit version. I had the
64-bit version installed originally, but due to some incompatibility
with drivers, I reformatted and went with the 32-bit version. No
problems at all since.

I chose the Ultimate version because I needed the IIS Web server,
and also wanted the Bitblocker encryption.

Overall, I am very happy with it. Keep in mind I researched and made
sure that all my hardware components were compatible with Vista and
had good drivers.

I've heard some saying that they went back to XP, but I can't see even
a single reason for me to ever consider doing that. I've been running
Vista for almost a year now, and with very good results.

Also, Direct X 10 for gaming isn't even an option on XP, is it?
