I would have gone with Home Premium and used the difference in money to get a better video cart.

Yes the 240 is going to be an improvement over the 9400GT, but I still wouldn't expect to run full settings in Aces High.

i didnt pay a dime for my windows 7 ultimate. i was gonna upgrade to a ati 5550 at first and then saw the GT 240 benchmarks over the 5550 and went with the Gt 240. only had a limited amount to spend figure for the money that was the best.
