im thinking of buying the vista home premium-OEM to save money.

but if i would have to reinstall it on the same comp would i run into any probs with the reactivation?

Yes you may have to call to activate and I will tell you this is how I deal with the call do not offer any more info than is asked and I just say if asked why you had to reinstall I had a driver issue and had to do a new install then they ask how many system you key is used on you say just this system and they give you your long list of number and letters to punch in and thats it your activated. i have did it 6 times on my old Premium version thats why I went to Ultimate it gives me less issues with some programs I run. Good Luck and have fun with the software.
