Sounds cool - but do both operating systems need to be on the C: drive in order to work? Can you leave vista on another partition and still boot from it? I'm just thinking that would prevent the...

I'm running AMI Bios version 1.7. Should I do the test found at memtest.org or memtest86.com? Are they the same test?
