Vista Ultimate 32bit
Vista Home Basic 64bit
Vista Home Premium 64bit

Re: Max number of cores each Vista version supports?

Limitation is per CPU socket, not cores.

Any number of cores for any of the Vistas:

Limited number of processors containing those multiple cores based on the
version of Vista:

Starter, Basic and Home Premium: 1 processor socket
Business, Enterprise and Ultimate: 2 processor sockets
