just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

I'm wondering if the Ultimate version is overkill for me though. Would Home Premium use less RAM and be a bit faster?

Short answer: No

they are basically identical operating systems under the hood but ultimate has extra bells and whistles 'unlocked' so you can actually use the system more flexiably

If you bought ultimate I guess that's what you're stuck with, the "which version" decision is one to make before purchase

Given the money, I would have had ultimate (not that I value the extras in any way, I do use the XP vm which isn't available in home though), but the S4S £38 pro upgrade was too good to not take, so MS finally got my money for the 1st time since...well, you don't want to know
