I might as well go ahead and ask a dumb question, but what are the differences between each kind of Windows 7 (Ultimate, Professional, Home). I'm about to buy a new computer and I just want to know what the differences are so I know which one I want to get.

If you're purchasing this computer for home use then you'll probably never have a reason to purchase anything more than Windows Home Premium. Just make sure you purchase the 64-bit version. It actually runs more quickly than the 32-bit version.

Not true. If anything it runs slower, unless you have more than 3.5gb of ram then using 32bit wouldn't be taking advantage of all the ram.
