Im going to put windows 7 on a PC but its an fairly old one if i put windows 7 basic on it will it run better then if i put windows 7 ultimate on it or am i just saying nonsense?
 
Solution
I'd even argue that Ultimate is worse than Home Premium, simply because of the extra services that may be running, sucking up resources.

Especially on an old P4 with 2GB RAM.

Neither of those.
Basic is too crippled, and Ultimate is too expensive and has too many unneeded features.

Windows 7 Home Premium. Depending on the exact specs, of course.

On that box, Ultimate is a waste of money. It offers zero performance increase over Home Premium.
