Dual booting XPx32 & Vistax64

Vista first then xp, or XP first then Vista? XP is going to be 32bit and Vista will be 64. Anyone had any experiences yet?
 
Is it gonna be on one drive (partitioned?). I'm not too sure, but if you install XP first and then Vista I believe it'll automatically setup a dual boot (earlier version of windows option 1 and windows vista option 2). I think I did my setup the longer way. What I did was install Vista on my first drive (two seagate 320gb in raid-0) and then installed Windows XP on my secondary drive (Maxtor 200gb). I then had to boot from the vista dvd - repair - startup repair, afterwards reboot into Vista and used a program called EasyBCD to setup the dual booting.
