I am currently running x64 trial edition and I'm about to buy it.

It is installed on my Raptor and all my programs are installed on the raid array.

I also intend to dual boot with XP as some of my Flight Simulator aircraft don't work properly in x64.

My two questions are:

1. What is the best and easiest way (if it is even possible of course) to drop 32 bit XP onto my current system so it will dual boot.

2. How will the "upgrade" to the full version of x64 affect my current system? Am I naive in thinking there is a chance things will be identical except without the timebomb and evaluation text on the desktop?

Thanks a lot.
