Is 5040x1050 still good on XP32??

I am thinking on getting a second GTX 280 on the cheap for a SLi set up, torun new games in SLi I will need the latest nvidia Drivers. Given the continousing issues with Vista divers and 5040x1050 / custom resolutions, I wonder if installing a copy of XP on a second Hard disk and dual booting as needed may be the way do go. So is XP32 working with the latest drivers for everyone?

one other consideration of 32 bit OS is the 3GB addressable memory limit.

Yep, I hear even with 280 GTX SLI (2GB RAM total), you still get around 3GB free. Is that right? I think I can live with that given than XP needs less of it to run than Vista which I run at the moment with 4GB total.
