Howdy yall,

I was looking around on Cnet.com and was surpriced about Vista comes with DUAL boot...

YES, you can install Windows XP Home/Pro.
Under windows XP, insert Windows Vista and install Vista...

But be sure you have at least... 15GB free HD space for Vista...

Heres a deal...

Sample: make a partition of Western Digital Raptor 74GB(as HDbooter)..
split it in half thas 37GB for each OS, plenty enough free spaces....

Step one, install XP first.
after Installing XP and you come in windows(insert Windows Vista) and click at install.
Select Partititon D for Vista, and sit back and relax....

Soon when you done installing Vista on D drive. than you can select wich OS you may use for games....

Here a link to check it outhttp://reviews.cnet.com/5208-12546-0...sageID=2024690

So dont be afraid that your SHIII willn't running on Vista, you always can rollback to Windows XP

Gosh i love Dual Boot yeeehaww!!!!
