QUOTE(suiryuu @ Sep 13 2007, 03:33 PM) yes you can, there is some application u need in macbook. BootCamp is one of it, u can get it free from Apple.com website. this application u need to shut down ur macbook to run the windows OS. Parallel Desktop, is one of this kind of application, but it can run windows OS during u using MacOS. wow... sound kind of complicated.... can it be run only the windows without the mac os?? since it running on intel C2D |

(although i was working on IT line) but i hardly involve with mac... i have long heard about the adv of mac OS... but wat i really worry is on the compatible of gaming... (i quite a hardcore gamers sometimes  ) |

Why? Mainly cos you require to waste big $$ buying a mobility/laptop based machine, such as iMac or macbook pro, macbook is a no-no for gaming. You should know that mobility is pricey, yet low-performance especially for graphic card. In order to play smoothly(Btw, i speaking in hardcore gamer, not some light gamer), you need Mac Pro which is a workstation (yet it's Overpower cos of the 2 server processors). Just for your extra info, there ain't any desktop machine for mac, except Mac Pro. If you are really a hardcore gamer, just forget about mac machine. That's my opinion. But if you got a generic desktop machine(for gaming), and you want try out mac osx, then you properly can get a mac machine.  but would it help it on going for gaming... or izzit for things like graphic designing stuff only... and i think it wont help for gaming rite... coz not much game are develop for mac... just curious  This post has been edited by wildarms: Sep 15 2007, 05:57 PM |

QUOTE(prasys @ Sep 15 2007, 11:06 PM) Look mate , now there are many application that allows you to run Windows games on top of OSX . Plus you can always boot to windows and run those games thanks. it's just the answer i would like to hear The graphics card is a gaming graphics card and it can take the latest and upcoming games. So you should not have a problem  i think apple have done a great job in combining mac os and windows together. at least they wider their range of buyer on their system. a great choice on switching to intel too. i always dream on owning a mac, but due to it compatibility to gaming and their pricey tag, i have to pull myself off on thinking about it.... but now u can own 2 different system in 1 macbook (kind of ) it's pretty cool.... and i wont mind paying extra money for it... since i can get the best on both on both world....
