Volsnap.sys enumerates VSS files systemwide. It doesn't care about the
configuration. It does not distinguish between partitions or drives. It
only cares about volumes (things with drive letters).

Is this true if the OSs are on two different HDDs as well as when in 2
partitions on the same HDD?

Like I said, try it with pc5300, not pc6400. By the way, dual booting XP
and Vista on a production or primary home computer is not a good idea.
All of the VSS files used by Vista's recovery facilities are wiped out on
each boot into XP. That means restore points, previous versions files,
CompletePC Backup images, and backup files made by the new file backup
program just vanish. If you are testing or gaming this is not a big
deal, but if you are into videos and photos and such you might not want
to risk your capability of recovering from a file problem.

games can take

there
is more than 4gb of memory available to them. So it may not benefit you
to
add more memory now and you might even see things that are working ...
quit
working.

I guess everything will be on a case by case basis. I am def going to
dual boot to Vista 64 & XP 32, and so will just have to experiment and
see how it goes. The take home message everywhere I ask this question
is basically, "It all depends . . ." I wish to use 8GB for Gigastudio
primarily, on Vista 64, for which there is a new release.
