Looks a good spec, will you need all the features of Ultimate.

Ummm I was told to go for Ultimate because of some (I quote), "unlock features" .... what these are I wouldn't have a clue .... feel free to comment please ...

Psch if your just going to be using it as a home/gaming pc, you won't need any so called 'extra features' of ultimate, it's a rip off really, get home premium

Quite a comprehensive chart of the different versions of Win 7. Have a look at the additional features of Ultimate and see if you need them.

lol so all ultimate gets you is 'unspecified features'? That sounds like a euphemism if ever there was one

doesn't really give a lot by the look of it does it ... I remember something about the virtual desktop and hard disc booting but that is WAY WAY over my head .... I will have to question the need for it now certainly .... that would leave an extra £80 or so to spend elsewhere
