There is something called dual boot.
Or use a VM (for Linux).

You don't want to switch to Linux because of a game?! 0.o

i would never switch to linux for gaming. the game is the girlfriends. she plays almost every couple days, i do more with the computer then she would ever think of lol. I just wanted to know if i did switch for me, would she still be able to play? if that makes any sence lol

You have options here:
- As Deque said: use VM (VMWare/VirtualBox), on Linux or if you want to simplify things, install host Linux in Windows
- Multi-booting (Dual OS): this is what I am using + I am hosting XP on Linux (lol? idk!)
Are you Russion by the way?
Peace
