Personal opinion, go for home premium or ultimate. If you are into any 3d application you basically need the same kind of computer a super gamer would have. I would also recommend getting 64 bit version of the program if you are able to but it is less of a difference than getting 2x the amount of RAM. My system:
Intel i7 2.66 GHz
6 GB DDR3 patriot RAM 1333 MHz
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB
Gigabyte EX-something capable of 3 way Xfire or SLI
If you have the i7 you absolutely need to get a 64 bit OS. If you upgrade to 3 GB you will notice a difference. But when you get into the 6-10 GB range it blows your mind how quickly things render. I have 64 bit vista but still run my 32 bit XP. Vista makes program files and then a new folder called Program files x86 for 32 bit programs. All 32 bit programs will work on a 64 bit system within reason, your windows 95 programs may not work.
Do you have Skype? - cool :-)

You would be able to do both. It may be a little slow depending on the complexity of the model and rig.
That is roughly 3 times the computer i had when i made this. Its the rendering that kills you.

I think there is something (in vista) where you go into you're control panel and it should say upgrade your version of windows anytime.

Did you make your own computer?
