XP is love. XP is life.

 

Maybe to run an older program.

unless its some custom made business program made exclusively for xp..I doubt they'd have a problem running it on 7 or 8

Are you looking to run a Virtual Machine or Dual Boot?

He's looking to dual boot but would probably be better off running a VM.

I am looking dual boot.. I need XP for older games which are not compatible with windows 8.1.. Since my PC is not that good i doubt vm will run those games smoothly

VM doesn't support D3D acceleration, so no... you can't game on VM

 

stick with XP, if you still able to play on that os what would it make any difference by running different os.

I have a lot of games which are not compatible with xp or 32 bit... So there's no way to do it?

Before you try, have you looked to see if the manufacturer offers drivers for your hardware for Windows XP? I'd start there and if not, I don't think it's worth pursuing. Especially if there's missing network and GPU drivers. It's definitely possible, though.

Depending on which edition of Windows you're using, some support direct boot to VM. The last Intel boards to support XP is socket 1155.
