Comment: Hi, I own a Vista computer and hence I am experiencing some compatibility issues with some applications (mostly games) and so I decided to create a dual boot with Vista and XP (that and I need to format my drive since my pc is acting funny). Right now I have Vista Ultimate 32-bit installed but I want a dual boot with Vista Ultimate 64-bit and XP 32-bit, is that possible?

Reply: (edit)I run a triple boot on this machine (albeit on different partitions) that include, Kubuntu; XP Pro x32 & Vista Ultimate x64 ..... it can be done! Why not shed some light on specific "compatibility" problems you are having with gaming - huh? Maybe we can help in that regard, although, XP has always edged out Vista at gaming, even though the performance gap is tight overall & it continues to shrink as Vista gets more adopted & increasingly fine tuned.

Reply: (edit)Is good to know is possible. Well, some of the issues are games not installing or running at all. These include Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood, the original Thief games, among others. If you have played Oblivion, you know that you need every fps you can get, and thus I want to run the game on XP. I am also tired of the "'some program' has encountered issues and need to be closed (something like that)" message.
