    I was thinking of picking up the 64bit edition of Vista because a)my manufacturer failed to mention that a 32bit OS won't recognize 4GB RAM and b)I could use the extra gig for Crysis when it comes out.

    So, what I was wondering was if anyone could tell me if it is possible to dual boot the two versions of Vista, I already have Ultimate 32-bit and I'll probably get Home Premium 64 to dual boot with it, but I don't know if I can and how I would go about doing that. Many thanks to anyone who helps me

    Boot from CD, make a second partition, and install it on that Partition.
