So you mean even with the bootcamp 3.0 , you're still having some problems ? I'd it major ones or minor ones ? Can you still play games ? If you do . What's the difference between 32 and 64 ? Performances ?

The Snow Leopard Upgrade CD/DVD actually helps you to install the drivers needed by Windows 7 automatically after you booted into Windows 7 right ? Difference between 32 and 64 = ?   |

64bit drivers are hidden, you have to use command line to start the installation.

You only have to install the drivers when you're booted into windows for the first time right ? What do we need for that ?

Hi all Mac pros, I wonder which is cheaper? Upgrading components in my Powermac G4 or changing to a G5?
Please click here to view my current specs: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Where are the areas that I can upgrade so the Mac works faster and better? Cost estimation? Thanks for any info you can provide! |

Firstly you need to describe what you want to run on it.
By looking at the spec, you have a 2003 MDD G4. The basic things you can do to bump some performance is: 1) Update your OS to 10.4.11. And reconfigure the system at the same time. 2) Add more RAM (max 2GB if possible). By doing so you should have performance close to first gen G5. But your system will still lack behind compared to dual core/ dual processor 2.0GHz or faster G5. Unless you can get G5 at good deal, else it will be more cost efficient to upgrade. But still depends what you want to do on it. |

Your machine max can go 10.5.8, you need to look for 10.5 retail box.
