Hi, as mentioned, thk yes he can with boot camp or parallels > Hi, as mentioned, thk This is great, thinking of buying a macbook for best of both world!, but can I enjoy the Vista eye-candy, 3D ganes and others programs running Vista on macbook via bootcamp without any glicth?

At least 3 GIG if you plan to use parallels, 2 GIG if you plan to use boot camp and run only one operating system at a time. Graphic card support has been promised, but AFAIK it is not here yet, so games will not play well at the moment and the fancy Glass look in Vista won't be available at this time in a virtual machine environment. These things should be coming pretty soon I would think. -Jim Gordon Mac MVP Quoting from "Lin Wui Loon (Firstpack Graphics)" <wuiloon@firstpack.com.sg>, in article C1F21FD5.5D6F%wuiloon@firstpack.com.sg, on [DATE: > This is great, thinking of buying a macbook for best of both world!, but can > I enjoy the Vista eye-candy, 3D ganes and others programs running Vista on [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> >>> Hi, as mentioned, thk  SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Thanks for the feedback, but may I know what is "use parallels" means, is it Virtual PC?

You can run Mac, Vista & Linux side by side & copy/paste between them. Apparently it is not flawless, tho.

No, but neither is BootCamp, either, and, of course, neither is Windows.

The subjective performance is better than I would expect from native performance. I am pretty impressed with Parallels. -Peter >> http://www.parallels.com/landingpage/dskd10_2/?gclid=CJeYwojuqIoCFS7OJAodzHE >> 4ug [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > No, but neither is BootCamp, either, and, of course, neither is Windows. |
