Will the

hardware?
Before you install WinXP, Boot Camp burns a CD-ROM of the custom
drivers you will need (mostly stuff like graphics drivers, Bluetooth,
and volume/brightness key support, sound drivers -- stuff that
requires a slightly different configuration for the XP side). Of
course, you can install any additional drivers you need (for
printers, mice, etc) once you have Windows up and running.
Add-in cards and other devices that now only have Windows
drivers?
It's not really possible to say yet, since none of the current
MacIntel models are desktop machines with empty PCI slots.
Like can I
still buy those $40 200GB hard drive specials at Staples and put
them in?
Of course. You can do that with non-Intel Macs as well, obviously --
Apple has been using standard ATA hard drives for over 10 years.
Does it have slots that will accommodate my high-end sound cards?
If they are PCI-based, at the moment, no. But of course eventually
there will be a MacIntel Power Mac with a bunch of free PCI slots.
Or is
this dual-boot a software support system only?
No.
