Hypothetical question

[dukebound85]

Say you have a mac pro or even a hackintosh. say you have both vista and leopard installed on seperate hard drives. say you want each to boot up simultaneoulsy each on a seperate screen

is it possible?

i would like to be able to devote 1/2 my computer to each:
as in half my quad core, half my ram, half my vid card, etc

is it possible to do so say with vista and xp as well?

Then you are going to have to use something like BootCamp to be able to dual boot. But it will be one OS at a time.

i know hence why i asked the question lol

there has to be a way to boot both os's natively yet split resources

No, there is no such way to do that.

If you wanted to do it you'd need to have a motherboard that was designed by Jesus, who was a pretty cool guy when it came to just about everything. Sadly he isn't around anymore so you're pretty much SOL.

VMware ESX Server is the closest thing I can think of to do what you are asking, however, due to Steve Job's ego Mac OS X will not run under ESX Server

Is that such a surprise? Mexicans can build computers, too!

Your only hope is to buy a whole new separate PC. No way to dual boot two different operating systems natively.

Time to buy another MP and just load Vista onto it
