I have been thinking about making a dual boot system

I was told that since I am running windows ME now that I could do windows 98 SE without a bunch of stuff to go through but was wondering will I be about to run a dual boot system using XP Home Edition ( I was told no that I would have to buy XP professional in order to accomplish my goal? ) Can any of you help me with this I was planning on going out and buying it this weekend but not professional.

Please Help!

Hi
Yes you can run a dual boot using XP Home edition. XP makes it real easy to do a dual boot. And what ever you do don't by the full version of XP, by the upgrade and make a clean install.

Hi
Go Here (http://www.pcpitstop.com) and scroll all the way down and on the right side and you will see a test to see if your computer is ready for XP. HTH
