xp duel boot? x64?

[baz-r]

any pc bods here help me
i have win7 64 on my laptop and cant run xp mode with my cpu so was planing on going down the duel boot road so i can run some 16bit programing software and ecu bits and bobs.

can i still get legal xp copys and what version will i need i see there was a late xp pro x64? or will any old 32bit work for what i want?

Can you use a virtual machine like virtualbox instead of dual booting.

You may possibly find an old legal copy of XP somwhere for sale.
