Wow a new category, well let me add a couple threads 
===============================================
How to:
Dual Boot OS installation [Windows XP & Windows Vista]
* This must be a clean install, [complete wipe]
======================================================
Installing XP: Then Vista:
1. Boot your PC from your windows XP cd.
2. Select the hard drive you want to partition for XP & Vista then press C
3. Select the size of your partition, 1000mb = 1Gig [ Use 20 Gigs ] for the OS's Partitions
4. Select the partition and choose to install XP [Pressing ENTER]
5. Select [NTFS] File system, Doesnt matter if you choose quick or the regular one.
6. Let xp format and install XP
7. Now that you have windows Xp installed.
Vista:
=======================================================
8. Put in the windows Vista disc
9. Choose [Install Now]
10. Choose [Custom] so you can do a clean install
11. Select the other partition to install Vista
12. Windows vista will start installing
13. Then after it is complete you will see windows Vista Desktop.
=======================================================
After all of this is done you can reboot your pc and you will get a prompt in the dos screen asking which OS you want to boot up.
It will say:
"Choose and operating system to start, or press TAB to select a tool:"
"(Use the arrow keys to highlight your choice, Then press ENTER.)"
Earlier Version of Windows <--- Thats XP
Microsoft Windows Vista
=======================================================
If all goes well you have completed the installation and you can now use either OS you like.

/facepalm
Dual booting affects your RAM usage in no way, only one OS is loaded at any given time.
