diplomat Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Apple ditchs IBM PowerPC CPUs for Intel Duo Core Intel Duo Core is already used by PC/x86 computer makers Intel Macs intially don't natively boot WinXP Now Apple's Boot Camp enables booting to WinXP My gf has 3 year iMac G4 and needs to run AutoCAD 2006, so I should tell her to sell the old iMac to get the new Intel iMac because you can run WinXP and use AutoCAD 2006 (and stop using my Winbox all the damn time) and easily go back to Mac OS X and it'll run all her current OSX apps just as well as it did with her old iMac G4?????

Im not sure exactly how far along the driver support is yet tho, perhaps look at some threads about driver support for winxp running on intelmacs. -Dre Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14190-lemme-get-this-straight/#findComment-90399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
