Dual boot.  Wish I had the hard drive space to do so.

This is why I always keep a couple of spare hard drives on hand. Often times, mounted right in my box. I just pop off the side, move a cable and run from the test drive.

What I want to know about is the upgrade path from Version I to Version II. I assume it will require a clean install going from x86 to x64....but, will the data files play nice after the upgrade or need to be rebuilt from scratch? Wondering about the cost also.

I think it needs its own system, I was going to "multi boot" it with Win 7 and got this and had to back out as it said it would delete all the data on the primary HDD.  | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number * BFK Customs * OS W 7 64-bit Ultimate CPU Intel Q9550 Yorkfield Motherboard ASUS P5Q Pro Memory 8GB Dominator 8500C5D Graphics Card ATI : XFX 5870 Sound Card Realtek HD Audio 7-1 Monitor(s) Displays 1x 47" LCD HDMI & 3x 26" LCD HDMI Screen Resolution 1920x1080P & 1920x1200 Keyboard Microsoft 500 Mouse Razer Diamondback 3G PSU Corsair 620HX Case Cooler Master RC-690 Cooling Tuniq Tower 120, 2x 140mm and 3x 120mm case fans Hard Drives 1x 80GB Intel X25-M G2 SSD : 1x 500GB & 1x 640GB WD Caviar Black(s) Internet Speed 14 Mb/s Other Info 1x Koutech 3Gb/s SATA HDD Hot Swap Rack |

Geez, I can't even add it in VB, it needs a 160GB HDD to install.  What a PITA!
