Vista takes a long time to boot Home Premium 64bit

It stalls at Microsoft Corporation and just sits there with the scroll green
blocks for at least 10 min.

do you have your virus program set to do a scan at boot.

Maybe you don't have enough memory. Need at least 1GB of it. You might get
by with half that.

No virus scanner as of yet and was loaded to a clean drive.
2 gb of ram on the system.

But I just found something in the events that says that the dbgsvc hung at
boot.

Hi, deathmeat.

That is not true!!!! (I lost count of how many !!s you used.)

A 64-bit OS can certainly use 4 GB - or much more - and should run better,
although there is a point of diminishing returns. But I ran WinXP x64 with
1 GB and ran both Vista and Win7 (pre-RTM) with 2 GB for several months.

But I doubt that had any impact on the OP's problem.
