As some of you may recall, most of the 64bit stuff I work with are the
larger IA64 systems. I found a deal on a good starter package for x64 so i
jumped on it.

The rig (with some new components) will be running:

ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 motherboard
2GB of dual channel, dual bank PC3200
AMD Opteron 175@ 2.2Ghz w/2x1M L2
eVga 16x GeForce 7800GT
80GB IDE RAID1 Mirror
160GB SATA mirror

I am considering my OS choice at this point ... should i go Vista Business,
or Vista Ultimate?

Thanks for the feedback,

Look at the differences between Business and Ultimate and make your decision
based on that. Also, if you go with business, you can do a simple, online,
upgrade at any point.

Business: No NFS, no SUA, no BitLocker, no MCE stuff. No ultimate extras.
Probably others I've forgotten.

Depends. For me, BitLocker is worth the upgrade all in itself. (and Texas
Hold-em ain't all that bad either!)

MCE - don't need no MCE, thanks. I have my TiVo.

NFS (and SUA) - must haves. The one thing I've SERIOUSLY missed in XP x64
was no Korn Shell and no NFS.
