Dual Booting 32 Bit Xp and 64 Bit Vista

My present configuration is dual boot XP and RC1 32 bit versions. (Both on
different physical hard drives).

I would like to run the 32 Bit XP installation in conjunction with a 64 bit
Vista install. the general advice at the time of the beta version was not to
boot from the Vista DVD but to install from within XP to preserve XP
capability.

Does this still hold true for RC1 or can I safely boot from the DVD, install
the 64 bit version of Vista and dual boot with 32 bit XP.

Thanks

Stewart
