Is anyone using a dual operating system with XP(32) and XP64? If so, are
there any major bugs I should look out for?

There aren't any bugs I'm aware of. Just make sure you install each
OS in its own partition or own drive, don't install both to your C:
drive.

OK, I'll install XP64 first and partition the drive into two NTFS drives
installing on one of them. The I'll install XP32 on the other.

How does boot selection take place? I am guessing I get a choice at start-up.

I would think you should install x32 first then the x64.

I think you should edit the file "boot.ini" in your c: partition to select OS
to boot.
