Hi, I currently have a core 2 duo 2.4 GHz CPU, intel 975 MB, 2G RAM PC667, Seagate SATA 250G HD, Inno3D Geforce 8800 GTS 640 MB GPU card and DVD Writer, My current HD has XP installed. I'm planning to have Vista so that I can play games for DX10 but I still want to retain WinXP for my old games. I read that eSATA HD has the same performance as SATA drives. Is it possible to dual boot my PC with winXP and Vista? WinXP on my current HD and Vista on an eSATA HD? Thanks, John

I don't see why you couldn't. I've done it with systems using Intel chipsets, although mainly for test purposes.
