Just install each on different partitions, and use a boot switcher like easyBCD

One problem, not really with dual boot but more having to do with AMD Phenom on Vista 64 in general. There is some known compatability issue. If you google it you should see all the details. I'd wait for the next generation of AMD or better yet, get an Intel.
