Welshkiwi Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Well, looks like i'm going to go with the Macbook Pro. One final question though. When I want to install XP or Vista, do I need a 2nd drive or can i create a partition on my drive and dual boot that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software Updater Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You could use boot camp or Cross-Over doesn't require you to restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespottedelf Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 but if you gonna game use bootcamp (or anything that is heavy on the processor ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, for basic office tasks and perhaps some unintensive gaming, using virtualization software like Parallels, VMware Fusion, or CrossOver would work perfectly fine and you can use the same drive, same partition, but if you are going into intensive Windows gaming, then you should use Boot Camp, which runs Windows natively, and it requires a separate partition but not a separate drive.

Welshkiwi Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hahah..well, i`ve been a PC user for many years and I just feel its time for a change. With teh ability to have Xp or Vista running on the laptop too, its a good thing I reckon. Next month, i`ll be the proud owner of a Macbook pro.
