Tri Boot

[joshduffus]

What would be the best sequence to install these three operating systems? I'd like to use some virtualization software so I could run a seperate OS w/in a window.

I'll either use:
System A
Athlon 64 3400
1 GB RAM
6800 Ultra
80 GB Hard Drive

System B
Athlong X2 4400
2 GB RAM
7800 GTX (2) SLi

System A has XP on it, and System B has XP and XP64.

Thanks!

Oldest operating system first, is how I've always done it and had success.

Just create 3 seperate partitions; each operating system is intelligent enough to know that the previous drive/install has another version of Windows on it; therefore it will update the boot sector appropriately.

and for virtualization software, the more ram, the better
