Two ways:
Reservations on a PER computer (MAC address actually basis)
Most people never realize that Reservations can be use for MORE
than just assigning a specific IP -- you also get to assign any
of the
options to that specific machine.
DHCP Classes for "sets of computers"
This was new in Win2000 -- "Vendor classes" are provided by
Microsoft and may do what you want (e.g., WinXP class) or
you can make your own "User Classes" in DHCP manager and
assign the class on each work station using IPConfig /setclassid

Only Reservations (not classes) can assign address -- Class work for
the options including Lease time.
There is a third way -- just put another NIC in the router and
make them separate subnets for each set of machines.
