Will i need a boot utility that will allow me to boot from either OS or will it just come up with a menu to choose from? __________________ AMD x2 4400+ ~2.6Ghz Connect3D X1900XT Hyper R Type 580W ASUS A8R32 MVP Crossfire Deluxe Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX Thermaltake Tsunami Hyundai 19\" widescreen 5ms Zalman CNPS7700-AlCu Maxtor 250Gb Hdd Logitech G5 gaming mouse Razer Mantis Control mat
