Last time i did was 30GB. Coz i'm using quite heavy. If you're just light usage 10GB shud be more than enough for u..

Asus: whats purpose? If for gaming give it at 50 gb at least. Have to check the size on my win7.. iinm, around 6-7gb with sp and update.

Question is : How could I install bootcamp on my iMac?

try read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1889?viewlocale=en_US
basically you need to have the leopard install disc. navigate via Finder -> Go to Folder...

current mac lineup have bootcamp assistant installed by default.

kinda hassle to me tho. if i were you, i would backup the user files to ext hdd, then remake the partition (deleting the old one then create new one again)

old stuff but just wanna share: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=597684

it's a guide to match the win7 colour profile (in bootcamp) to the OSX side of things.

my windows look much better now haha

Maybe try install compatible DirectX driver update?
On parallels, the graphic driver will be as "Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM)" as report by Device Manager and DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
I can run Farcry 2 without hiccups.

The vram is allocated via the config setting (at lower right of running os in Windows mode)

*im using Windows 7 64 bit file created from VM Fusion*

yup, after had a great day research, what i do is re-update all the driver in the check-list of Parallels desktop 6.

It cant be change the video memory, currently on 128MB, i wish to run more on max 256MB which is on window xp SP2, because i'm runinng heavy 3D graphic on background

read the 1st page. a bit outdated but the general idea is there

anyway u still need a windows licence

bootcamp is a dual boot environment u can choose to boot from mac or windows
it's a nice feature~

how to reduce screen brightness in bootcamp ??
my win7 is at full brightness ..

just use the same function key you use to low the brightness lvl in mac osx. (if you did use the mbp/mb keyboard layout)
or maybe try the power management in windows 7.

I want to install Windows XP on my Macbook through Bootcamp.

But my problem is the CD reader ROSAK edi.

Any other way? I have the ISO file.
