it would be better if you'll go for the upgraded 1, because windows vista operating system requires a minimum of 1gb RAM... if you choose the standard (377$), its has only 512mb of ram, and for sure that will make your pc slow...

Yes excellent buy either way. The extra RAM and improved CPU are worth the extra bucks.

Please, get the premium one, it will perform about 50-75% better, depending on the application.
