AMD 2.0 processor
512 ddr
WD 30GIG
WD 20GIG

You can use cable select or master/slave. After both installs are complete you will get a boot menu in which you can select which OS to boot to, The last one installed will be the default and the pc will boot to it automatically in 30 seconds if no selection is made, but can be changed later in the boot.ini file if you so desire.
