I have some questions. I just bought the mid 2012 MBP last week and I'm looking to install Windows XP on it via bootcamp but from what i gathered, the version of BootCamp on OSX Lion doesn't support installation of Windows XP anymore. Is that true? If yes, do we have a solution for this.

QUOTE(sunnyckh @ Jun 26 2012, 02:05 PM) hi all, how many gb is most suitable to do partition for window...its give me 20gb as the option...should i increase or decrease? I think 20gb definitely not enough. 32bit Win7 consumes 16gb and 64bit Win7 consumes 20gb, according to Microsoft's website. So i recommend u increase to 36GB, like what i did. |

QUOTE(carbonfibre @ Aug 9 2012, 03:46 PM) I wanna use windows 7 on my MBP15(2012) for gaming.. For gaming, use BootCamp. Parallel is not recommended because it is actually running 2 OSes at the same time, therefore it may reduce your game's performance. And also using parallel to play game will drain your battery really really fast.Its solely for gaming ONLY Which software should i use to run Windows ? Parallel or BootCamp? Also, BootCamp is more stable because you install Windows on your MacBook like you install it on any other PCs. So, it is highly recommended if you wanna game. |
