    As we all know, the 6860FX comes with Vista 64. I also have a second HD with my previous install of XP.

    Is it possible to make it dual boot? Some of the older games don't work so well with Vista (shocker)

    Not without reinstalling both OS's. Due to the new boot system in Vista, it has to be installed last, and on a separate partition from XP. But it will work, no problem. I have Vista HP x64 and Server 2008 dual booting on RAID 0 in my 6831fx.
