vista 32 bit home premium for a hundred bucks
Newegg.com - Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32-bit English 1pk for System Builders DSP OEI DVD - Operating Systems

At this point I think vista is the best choice for an os. Home Premium is the version to get because the few extra features ultimate has are not worth the price increase.

i was told to get 64 bit?

I would say 64 Bit if you run 4GB of RAM or more. If not 32 Bit woudl be jsut fine. 64 Bit is the future and you want to be ready for it. But 32 Bit would be just fine.
