speed dual boot vs linux only
I have been messing around linux (SuSE) for a few years. I am a compleat (look it up) novice. I have absolutely zero programming ability. GUI baby, that's me. Anyway, my first distro was SuSE 7.3 pro, then onto 8.0 pro. Once I felt a little comfortable, I did a FTP install of 9.0 and now 9.1 pro, and I really like it. Very GUI
Here is my question...would I experience better performance if I ran a Linux only box compared to a XP/Linux box. I'm on an old P3 (500mhz) with 384mb and a pair of 80gb drives, onboard graphics (nvidia I think) and sound.
If I was to upgrade to a Athlon 2800+ with a real graphic card, would I still notice any difference between dual vs single boot?
