Questions about Vista, Q6600 and SLI

I got a few thing I'm a bit unsure of, first about Vista:1) Whats the difference between 4 different Vista versions?
2) I'm thinking about XP and Vista dual boot, what happens if they are both on same HD, do I get same kind of startup menu as with 2000 and XP?
3) What about if they are on their own separate HDs, do I have to change HD bootup priority to change which OS to load?Then about Q6600, for those who have Q6600, what temps do you get with it?(in celsius if possible) Intel homepage says Q6600 temp is 62.2C, is that maximum temp, optimal temp or what?And finally about SLI, I have Leadtek 8800GTS 320MB, if I add another card, does it have to be from same manufacturer? Or is it enough if it has the same stats? Any problems that might occur if I SLI different manufacturer's card?Thanks in advance for all help.Questions about Vista, Q6600 and SLI

3) What about if they are on their own separate HDs, do I have to change HD bootup priority to change which OS to load? No, it's the same principle.The PC boots on the primary system partition where the info about the OS'es installed on the other partitions are located.Then about Q6600, for those who have Q6600, what temps do you get with it?(in celsius if possible) Intel homepage says Q6600 temp is 62.2C, is that maximum temp, optimal temp or what?And finally about SLI, I have Leadtek 8800GTS 320MB, if I add another card, does it have to be from same manufacturer?

Used to be same manufacturer, but for recent cards only the GPU model should be the same (fixed)Thanks in advance for all help.[/QUOTE]Questions about Vista, Q6600 and SLI
Sometimes this forum is even faster than google, thanks again.Anyone got anything about those Q6600 temps?
Well, my Q6600 runs kinda hot (45 degrees idle, 55 under load), but that's because it's in the hottest room of the house... and my 8800 can probably melt steel at the temps it runs at. Get a good cooler like a Zalman 9xxx and you should be fine.
My Q6600 is watercooled, so I can't give a idea of what air cooled temps are.I dual boot XP and Vista on one hard drive and it gives me a chose of starting XP or Vista everytime I boot up.SLI can be with different manufacturer, different clock speeds and different VRAM. The only thing that matters is that the GPU's are the same (EVGA 7800GT with XFX 7800GT OK 7600GT with 7800GT not OK) Nvidia site.
Well I'm getting temps little below 60C under load, can't remember the name of the cooler I'm using and can't check it right now since I'm at work. I was just thinking should I be worried about that kind of temps, I'm sure I can't overclock without a better cooler.
