I'm absolutely eager to use vista,was in the states the past 3 weeks,and I
purchesed a vista home basic sp1 from circuit city in Santa Monica,I realy
was looking for the ultimate edition but couldn't find it,my question is I
use 3ds max and other 3d editing software,is there a difference between the
different vista editions concerning my use,or any one of them will work well
for me?cause I realized that the basic edition requires half the amount of
ram compared to the others which I think should mean that it's lighter which
should be best for me provided that it allows me to use my software as
efficient as the others and I would also need to know what are the basic
differences between them.
 
The half amount of RAM?
I use Vista Home Premium on two computers. The first on has 1 GB RAM,
the second 2 GB. Word-2007 runs a lot faster on the second computer,
and I will buy more RAM for the first one as soon as I can.
If you will be working with Home Premium I would certainly recommend
having at least 2 GB RAM.
With 'only' 1 GB it can be excruciatingly slow.
For the rest I much prefer Vista over XP, which was a disaster to me.

Kind regards,

Rob.

One gig of RAM is fine with Vista Home Basic (my own setup). I would
not try to run the others with less than twice that, and would get
four gigs if I were going to buy anything that has the "Aero"
interface.
 
To be honest, you need 2G of RAM to get a good experience from Vista, and
that includes Home Basic. The Aero interface doesn't use up a whole Gig of
memory ;-)

In terms of running your 3D editing software, any version of Vista will be
fine.

Shadow,
1 G ram is sufficient. 2 G ram is better. MS requirements are quite often
less than ideal for enjoyable usage.

Plunge ahead. If you find performance unsatisfactory, then go for 2G ram.
If you miss some features, consider upgrading to Ultimate.

Enjoy,

Not in my experience. This same machine had XP on it two months ago
and now it has Home Basic... just as fast if not faster than the XP
(very streamlined) system was.

Of course, I've streamlined my Vista installation as well.
 
VHB does not provide the Aero interface and things that go with it like
Flip3D but the video card and driver should be what handles 3ds Max and so
it should work or not regardless of the edition.
 
Folks, all this discussion of ram, while valid, is irrelevant to the OP's
question which concerned a program called 3ds Max except as it might pertain
to 3ds Max's system requirements, which he did not state.
 
when you look at each edition's requirements you will find that the home
basic edition only requires a 512 mb of system ram and all the rest require a
1gb ram,which means that it's a lighter edition to me,thank you anyways for
your reply
 
so the basic editon is a lighter one?cause it's very important to me to
reserve the most part of my rams(3gbs)for my 3ds max.thank you for replying
 
thanx karl

yeah,I agree with you,I have a 3gbs ram system and I'm considering to have 1
more gb ram cause the win 32-bit only realizes 4 gbs of ram so it's useless
to have 8gbs of ram on a win-32 system,isn't that so?thanx for your reply
 
hey colin,I totaly apreciate every answer I got to my question thank you all
guys for taking the time to reply,whatever was your answer,my 3ds max only
requires a certain hardware combination and I use it over an xp sp3 operating
system,I just wanted to know the difference between the vistas as I purchesed
a vista home basic sp1 and I was a little concerend about how it will operate
my machine with my max,so to make my question more understandable,is the vhb
sp1 edition just a lighter edition of vista than the others or is there
something missing in it?thank you very much for replying
