    so i have vista ultimate here bought it for a computer build and the people then decided they just wanted XP so im thinking of making a dual boot with vista on my pc
    currently specs are AMD dual core 5000 @ 2750mhz each core
    2GB of RAM gonna be 4GB as soon as it arrives
    2x 250GB HDD
    ATi 3870 and putting another one in when it arrives.
    OS : XP pro
    computer is completely multi taskable use it for Office, music (in a band), and games usully CoD4, Crysis, flight simulator x,command and conquer 3

    is it worth it ?
    are all the problems sorted with it ?
    and finally how do i do it

    Since XP is already on, just make a say 50 GB min partition and boot from the Vista DVD and install to the newly created partition. A dual boot menu will be created automatically.
