Doug,
My opinion is that dual boot machines are less useful than single boot
machines. It usually only serves the purpose of chopping up the
partitions to unusable sizes for any of the operating systems installed on
the machine. Perhaps we can sell two of the XP licenses to pay for the
RAM, then have two dedicated Linux machines and two Windoze machines. Or
even better, sell all the XP licenses and install Linux on all 4 machines
with more memory (paid for by the XP license sales).
