Partitioning HD

I'm planning on buying an XPS 630 but I want to know if anyone has partitioned their hard drive. Basically I'm thinking of either putting WIn XP or Linux on alongside Vista. But has anyone tried using Linux (ubuntu) with more recent games?

 

Thanks

    ME TOO,
    i am planning to buy a DELL laptop soon and would love to have Windows XP sp2 + Linux Ubuntu.
    Windows for gaming
    Linux for everything else
    would be great if it could be shipped this way already.   but then i guess the joy of linux is learning and understanding what is going on with the computer.

    I have a dell xps M1530,
     and a triple boot: Xp + vista + Kubuntu 8.04. I 've done this to be ready for every situation, but I use kubuntu all the time. Everything works except the internal microphone. I have some games on Vista, but I don't nplay very much and I've not tried this on kubuntu. You should have a look on http://appdb.winehq.org/ if you find your game :)
