XP & Vista dual boot
Will dual boot XP and Linux. Thanks in Advance: 1. What cpu?- I've always used AMD in the past because they've always been cheaper than intel. I'll probably need a fan too if I get Ram - one or two gigs? I'm not running Vista, so are two gigs needed? What type? I usually just went with Crucial a few years ago.

In your case Don, I imagine that since you have three drives and two are for XP the third drive would be E for your Vista drive (check to make sure in XP). I multi-boot XP Pro x86, XP Pro x64, Vista x86, and Vista x64 so the example in the Greypaper is for more than just dual-booting. The attachment is in Word

Is it possible to dual boot Vista 32bit and Vista 64bit? If installed on their own separate hard disks (I have 2), I'm almost sure it is possible, but I would like confirmation. Yes.

dual boot
I understand the problem is installing XP after VISTA, just as there was a problem installing say WIN98 after XP. However if you can find a boot manager that will hide the unused partition then it might become much easier since it would be the equivalent of two drives and starting with one removed.
