i just bought a window xp service pack 3 and i try to install it on my macbook with boot camp. but then it stuck while installing the window.
it was still running but after an hour or so it still says on my screen 39 mins left.

then i tried google it to solve my problems.

then i found out that i need to update my boot camp driver to 2.1 before installing window xp service pack 3

my question here is how do i update it since it's a .exe file. and i dun have a window xp installed so i cant install the driver.

can i install window xp with service pack 3 straight away or can it only be done by installing window xp service pack 2 then i update my boot camp 2.1 driver on the window then only install the service pack 3 update.

pls correct me.. i'm confuse.. & i need my window urgently.

thanks for ur help in advance!

I recently heard that window 7 is performing really well.
I am interested in upgrading my window xp which is run on boot camp on my Macbook 13", 2.4 Ghz intel core 2 duo, 4 GB ram.

just want to compare the performance between window xp and window 7 on this system.
will it perform much better? or will it consume too much resource and slow down the system?

ur valuable advice is kindly appreciated.
thanks

so have anyone tried installing window 7 on macbook yet? how's the performance?

previously u were using window xp? does it perform better?
