Sure!   I currently have a triple-boot system with XP, Vista and Win7.   It started out as a dual-boot XP/Vista system, both 32bit, with Win7 x64 added afterwards.   Granted, I rarely use anything but Win7, but it's nice knowing it's there...

Perhaps you could dual-boot WinXP and Win7? That would allow you to gradually update as needed, and figure out what's no longer needed as you move forward. But you'd still have your existing setup for those projects that require it.

Thanks that's a great suggestion. I'll look into it...so I could have Win7 64 bit and still keep my WinXp 32 for legacy plugins ? Sounds like an elegant solution.

When Win 7 is installed (stick it on a separate disk or partition) it will create a boot loader so you can select which OS to boot up. It should be a relatively easy process. I'm not sure, but it may be possible to scan for your older VSTs on the XP disk / partition.  Whether it will work or not I'm not sure, but if someone has that setup, maybe they could try.

He said wanker...LOL!!!!

no,  cocksmoker! 

...I hope you aren't calling me this...This would hurt my delicate feelings.

Not you at all,Frosty,
it´s only that I prefer to fu..  arround  in my words. 
On the other hand, this threat seems to be an invitation to rumble,
but I don´t like this sort of "timewasting."
Frosty, one question cause I read your signature:
Guess you are running an I5, I7 or so,
are 4 GB Ram enough to run X2  64 bit ?

I´m building a new PC in Juli or so.


howgh

Sure, it'll run with 4Gb of RAM but you owe it to yourself & your system to install at least 8Gb - even more, depnding on your motherboard. I routinely eat up 9Gb when doing orchestral stuff, and that's without any Fx plugs, just the samples!

Thanks for your and other replies.
I asked Frosty because I build a new PC in summer and heard  that at least 8 GB memory is recommended for a 
64 bit/ X2 system.Also the idea to build another partition on my old system , one 32 bi and one 64 bit,
  is a good idea. Thanks for all your inspiration. 
I hope Frosty is not pissed with me, cause he didn´t answer. If so,: Sorry, Frosty!

It's really hard to tell with those sunglasses on.
