Thanks for commenting... What am i really concern that is if i install parallels and allocated 512 ram each for linux and xp... with 1 gig ram left will it be laggy? i have a feeling that i will like leopard too... haha... xp is mainly for documentation cause i afaid my university computer is not compatible with mac office... can i still play games and multitasks in leopard just as i mentioned?

does all Mac come with bootcamp when sold???....bootcamp seems to work like partition....but can Mac OS be deleted after installing Windows OS or vice versa?????

Hi all. I've got a few questions I would like to ask all the Mac experts here. I am currently using a Sony laptop for my work. 17" / 3 year old unit. Well, not mine but the company's. Will be upgrading and thinking of getting a MacBook Pro. Here are my questions and appreciate any advice

Background: My work heavily uses Photoshop and Illustrator

1. If I run windows natively, will performance suffer compared to running Mac OS and having Mac versions of Photoshop and Illutrator? If possible, don't want company to spend more money on softwares.

2. If running windows natively, will the new Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz MBP with 4Gb RAM run CRYSIS smoothly?

Thanks in advance.
