I don't want any hitches or glitches. I guess I need to decide if I need SSD or all those OS. I also have wondered in you could have one 60 gb SSD and one regular one in the same computer with an internal KVM switch. I suppose this would be foolish because I assume you have to purchase two processors. You could not use the same processor could you?
Thanks

A KVM switch is used to switch e.g. the keyboard between 2 computers. I fail to see what you would do with it in this context. But what are you trying to accomplish? If you want to do seperate OS installations on the SSD and the HDD, you can do that by disconnecting e.g. the HDD whilst you install e.g. Windows7 on the SSD (that's what I have done). That gives you 2 completely independent systems - no mucking around with MBR's etc. Then you can boot from either the SSD or the HDD by changing the boot sequence in the BIOS - that is real easy.
1. MBR is the Master Boot Record which always gives problems with double booting - especially when you want to remove one system.
2. Your other question I do not understand. What do you mean with " Is there a processor you would recommend". The multiple system installation on multiple disks that I have described above, you can do on any system provided you have 2 (or more) physical disks (HDDs or SSDs or mixed) in the system.
Smorton, LH said it. There is nothing new you need for that scenario. Just 2 internal Sata disks (spinning disks or SSDs or one of each). The rest can be any old bread and butter PC. Has nothing to do with the processor.
When you are ready to do such a venture, I will be glad to help you. Be aware that there are quite a few little things you have to know before you order, install and use an SSD. So better ask at each step of the way before you do it. I had to learn it the hard way.
