VirtualBox or Dual Boot

[mrfatbox]

I tend to recomend VirtualBox for xp on windows 7 64bit when people tell me they need windows xp as i find most current PC's are over spec'ed for windows xp and there are not the driver problems when you use VirtualBox

I prefer to use a VM vs. dual boot. It much easier to uninstall a VM then it is to try to remove items from boot menu's and reclaim the partitions left behind when removing an OS.

I didn't pick any of you choices since I believe that Using a VM should replace VM virtualbox. A lot of people, including myself, use VMWare.

have spent some time reading up about VMWear and do see your point seams like a good program but it should be at the price there ask.
i dont think i can change the text from VirtualBox to VM Software or i would.

VMWare costs more because it has been around quite a while and has been time tested in enterprise environments. Lots of businesses use it. You also get support.

going to give it a go tomoz as Virtualbox does not have the best 3D suport

Most VM's I know of don't support DirectX, thus aren't good for playing games.
