i wanted to get an iMac...
but thought of ALSO installing Windows Vista in it...

will it be a problem?
like, some of the hardware (iSight, some keys on the keyboard, the ports etc) cant be used in Vista if i boot in in Vista?

and, do i need TWO hd's if i wan dual boot?
or hd parititon will do?
if i install the Vista in the iMac, do i need to also install again those driver for Vista?
** for those who don't like "iMac install vista", just leave this thred. **
thx

I myself using Vista Ultimate in my new imac through Apple's bootcamp.

For your question 1 : there will be no problem to install the Vista. All the ports and iSight (only through MSN) are working properly.

Question 2 : You just need to partition your iMac's HD for the dualboot function by using Apple's bootcamp. Please take note that there are so many ways to install Vista in Mac by using Virtual Simulation softwares. Please use the "GOOGLE" to know further. :-)

Question 3 : I don't get what you mean by the "install driver for Vista"?. I suppose the drivers that come with Apple's bootcamp will answer your question.

@diners, just install la. No worry. Surely vista can support 1Gb ram. Bootcamp basically is kinda "partition magic" which make a window partition for you to install xp/vista. Currently Bootcamp is free ,beta stage and no time limit. Beta means the product still for testing purpose, might be unstable, buggy which is not ready for the final product to be delivered.
