Does it have to be physical hardware? I'd recommend going virtual, if
possible. Install your choice of hypervisor, then create an XP VM (or
three). I think you'll find it to be a much better choice than running
discrete hardware for each OS.

Yes and no. Separate machines help me track "where am I and what
am I doing?" Much as I have a separate log in and face book account
for the organization I'm now "responsible" in.

And if I crash the alternate machine, I still have the main
machine (or verse vica).
