It doesn't matter which is selected. They'll both work fine.

Oh and the spellings for favour, colour, favourite, etc will be different in the US version

That'd be because of all the added "u"s throughout the entire package

you will find that whatever version you grab, russian, italian etc, it installs and runs in whatever region you have your computer set

if you change youre region after, it still runs in what was set when it was installed, so if youre like me a nd play japanese games, make sur eyou set it back to engish before updating drivers :P

Oh, come on, having your graphics drivers display in Japanese would make it more fun
