    Of course you can, the two are independent you can dual boot or tri boot or quad boot anything you want.

    I used to have 32bit Vista, 64bit Vista, and 32bit XP tri boot when Vista was new and I was testing it out.

    I use just x64 Win 7 on my desktop now but still have dual boot x64 vista/7 on my laptop since I am testing how compatible with win 7 my laptop is. So far looking good so may dump the Vista partition soon.

    Next thing is to test the XP visualization Win 7 has to see if it can fully substitute for a real XP partition.
