yes, using parallel. It's some sort of virtual PC.

Can explain further?? Ways and etc?

using xp wif parallel lagging even wif C2D 2.0 n 1G
vista is a bit hard to imagine...

apple's bootcamp support both xp n vista... try it...
xp is super fast in bootcamp...

erm.. what this means? so let's say i make 2 hard disk space with each got 40Gig. so can i put one hard disk space using mac OS and the other window xp? and one more thing, i wonder if apple notebook will come along with mac OS and window xp or not.

when you buy apple machines, it will come along with mac os, but not window Got two choices, you can eithe install window via bootcamp or parallels(virtual PC). Installing it at Virtual PC, the performance will be slower than bootcamp. The good thing about virtual pc is you do not need to reboot or switch to window while you are in mac os. So window os is running inside mac os.

if u use bootcamp, the mac partition will be automatically divided depend on you, without removing the Mac OS itself. For good performance i recommend u to install Bootcamp.

seems like quite hard to understand what is bootcamp or others but if i buy a original window xp, can i ask them to install for me?

Apple Center might help....but not Microsoft....



I manage to install Vista on Mac Mini using bootcamp...works great...

nope...i dont think so..
buy your Mac first,
then start play around with bootcamp.
after that u will realize how easy to install WinXP into ur Mac.

ic. thanks a lot guys. actually it is my gf who wanted to buy apple notebook. so i wonder how to help her to install the window xp only as me and her noob in mac OS.

even u installed xp in ur comp....
i beat u wont log into xp as often as much as u do with mac OSX by then u get used to maxos

trust me...

i installed xp via bootcamp n even parallel...
guess wat? i removed both within a week juz concentrade on my macos now...

hmm.. seems like max OS is far better than window xp eh? i really would give it a try if can lah but the retail shop here seems cannot test that much eh?

u can try macOSX out in machines located in midvalley...

there r tons os macs for u to play...

maybe some of you guys can show me there and how to use mac OS. i know where the shop located and got inside and play a while before and the funny thing is that i don even know which one is the internet browser.

Safari is the web browser for Mac OS

new to mac os x..

do some reading and research for basic stuff.. then once you know all the basic stuff, you will get use and love the os x fast.

i couldnt find the thread where a lot of good links for new switcher, but u can try read all the threads here slowly, very useful for beginner. and apple website does contains a lot of reading, switch101, intro of mac os x etc et are recommended reading for newbie.

For those who using mac book but not macbook pro, pls notice bootcamp might need at lease 1G ram to run smoothly. It's because you need to partition you ram to you original Os (OX 10) and windowXP.

Just a remind,

Is it right? I don't think so.
RAM partition?
Maybe you mean Parallels or CrossOver.
Both of the apps will share RAM with the main OS (Mac OS) since it's running in it.
But of course not BootCamp because it runs as stand alone, does not share RAM with any OS.

Lol....in a way....he is totally right....
After messing with Vista for a bit....got bored...
Booting the OSX more then Vista (kinda wasted a license though)

Can't wait for May...
