I've not tried the released version of Vista, only tried the first Beta and it was full of bugs. I've heard that It still have a couple them, but considering your rig...
XP is very cpu hungry, and Vista is Ram hungry, I'll say give it a try. For my part I'll wait till the firt service pack come out

Yep, that's called Dual Booting. ;)

Another problem is i keep getting blue screen errors on my vista and xp..

sometime is says win32.sys/not less or equal/afd.sys and at the bottom is says something about dumping

why does this happen?

since you have 512MB of memory your best bet is with XP.

I HAVE 4GB MEMORY, my graphic card has 512mb can this be an issue?
