Well, Ultimate is the highest Vista package they offer. If you get the 64bit version then then you could go up to 4GB of RAM. I've not used Vista very much so I'm not the one to recommend what version to get.
 
Havent that Operating system does wat for you does it run sum programs a lil faster or wat?
 
Their budget was 1000 - 1200, so you could do:

All awesome, top quality, latest and greatest parts. This build will last years, with plenty of room for expansion. Total is 1190 before 75 bucks worth of Mail-In Rebates, and I think it's very much so worth it to spend the extra cash.

As for the operating system debate, Vista Ultimate is the most expensive version, but not worth it. You're better off with Vista Home Premium. All of the extra features that Ultimate has will just use more system resources, and won't really benefit you at all.
 
Yeah, definantly go for Ethans great build if you wanna spend around your previously stated budget, but considering his main uses are only downloading off the net i thought there was no reason to spend over 1K.

Heck a Pentium Dual Core is overkill for that.
