I too think that a 64 bit system will be better, because it can use more RAM for example. But I think too that the home version will fill your needs and is cheaper than the premium version.
Here you can compare the versions:

And here you can see the FAQ concerning the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit Windows:

Trading Computers - Technology for High Performance People is where most of the traders of which I am associated go to buy a computer.
If that doesn't offer what you are looking for, I have other sites to check out.

Thank you for your suggestion. I know about this company. In fact I did buy computer from them several months ago. I had to send it back. Just did not work right. I invested about one month of my time working with technical support on the issue and they could not fix it.
People at tech support were great, sales I do not know. They cost me money on the long run since I had to pay shipping sending system back.

Oh well. One other business investemtn I guess.

I second a ThinkPad. My t61p is the best notebook I've ever purchased, and I've purchased a lot.

I have the X61 as one of the computers, and it's been more stable than any computer I have ever had. Just the small screen of 12 inches is killling my eyes.
