dual boot is when you have more than two operating systems on your computer.......such as Windows and Linux (like me)....
and you can choose which one to boot from when a window appears at start-upboot-loader that i have is called grubhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi_boot
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GRUB
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_%28computing%29it has many different designs - from graphical to just text like on the wikipedia page

grab a distro of linux.........this one's good for beginners - http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mepisthis site has TONS of linux ditributions!! - http://distrowatch.com/all you gotta do is make one partition for windows......leave another for linux.....then install linux and the boot-loader will automatically recognize that windows is on there!!you MUST install XP first or else it'll be all mean.......if you need help just pm me!

you dont need linux to dual boot. In fact I dont recommend it at all. Linux is very different to windows, and you can quickly get out of your depth.

i know........i just went to linux cause i was tired of windows and wanted something new.just a suggestion.................

Anyone with xp can download windows 7 rc for nowt and dual boot that.And Id stay away from that Firefox 3.6 beta 2 crap-it almost wrecked my w7

It works fine on my Ubuntu dual boot.
Nameroka or something,
Shiretoko is good also (latest 3.5).I heard it can mess up your boot, though. And my antivirus picked up a trojan on my boot disk for TinyXP.
WTF?

i have triple booted my pc, i have windows xp, vista, and windows 7. im gonna be adding ubuntu to that soon.

You must have a big hard drive lol!, mabe 250gb or more.vista and win 7's use a hole 7gbs each, xp not bad at about 2gb!

Duel Boot is pretty volotile on our school systems. They seem to mess up the iMacs when trying to load up Windows then Mac.. If you've got a good enough Ram, then how about looking into Virtual Machines.

Yeah hence why I said if you have good enough Ram, and quite obviously a good CPU as you said.
