    Is it alright to install 2 different operating systems in one PC? Namely Windows XP and Windows Vista?
    My PC Specs are:

    Intel Core 2 Duo
    E7300 @ 2.66GHz
    2.67GHz, 2.00GB or RAM
    Physical Address Extension

    yeah that prefectly fine, its called Dual-booting. Just make sure when you install them that, XP goes first then Vista.

    It may also be a good idea to have a 3rd partition created to store your data files, so if one of the OS's gets corrupted, your data files on the 3rd partition will stay intact.
