Vista as 2nd OS (on Dual Boot) is SLOWER ???

[vilhiem]

So, is this correct that when I built my new speedy rig, and made a Dual Boot XP32 and Vista64 on my VelciRaptor 300GB HD ... that Vista will run *slower* then if I just installed it as a standalone OS?

If so, does this mean that my games will run slower too ??

And also, if so, should I install games to a second VelociRaptor HD???

Thanks a bunch!

No it will not run slower. They're totally independent of eachother.

No, it won't run slower, but you could simplify. I'm not a big fan of dual-booting, so you could always run your XP x86 install inside a VM, such as VirtualBox. You would be surprised at how fast XP runs in this manner.
