[X4U] Boot camp on a separate partition?

[Neil Laubenthal]

Unless you need/want to run games . . . you might want to consider  
either Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion and run Windows inside  
Leopard. The speed hit is pretty small with Intel chipped Macs and the  
virtual machine keeps from having to cross-boot and allows drag/drop  
from the two environments.

I've not used Boot Camp; so can't answer your specific question . . .  
just wanted to make sure you had considered all the options.
