I'm running vista 32-bit and I'm not sure what the problem is, but my games keep freezing. I ran I stress test for 2 hours on all system components and they all passed. I have two WD 650gb caviars. How can I go about dual booting between XP and Vista? I'd like to keep any data on my current HDD with Vista, but if I have to format I won't be too upset.

You could either install Xp on your second hard drive or if you have another partition on your HDD with vista on it you could install it onto that.

So, I could just boot XP off the other harddrive by accessing that one first in the BIOS? And vice versa?

You could do that or you could set up your boot.ini file so you will be prompted after you POST to which OS you want to use.
