Windows Vista (puke) and Windows Server 2008

Hi,



I need to purchase a new PC and I want to kill two birds with one stone if I
can.



What I am trying to figure out.can I get one PC.install two internal hard
drives in it, and on one, install Windows Vista (which I hate but seem to
have little choice in avoiding.) and on the other I would like to run
Windows Server 2003 or 2008.



It has been ten years or more since I set up a dual boot PC and so I would
appreciate any advice about this approach or suggestions for alternatives.



I'm wondering about issues such as shared Ethernet cards.or would I need two
cards.things like that.



I could get two PC's..and with the cost of hardware coming down so much,
price-wise that's not such a big deal. But then I have to find a place for
two PC's.when I really don't even have a place for one more in my office.but
I also don't want to get rid of the one I work on every day.



Suggestions?
