Windows on the Mac with Parallels 3.0

[pizzabob]

shouldnt you be in a kitchen?

[OFFICALPSP]

mine isnt intel based.. how?

[bertiebr]

Can you play COD Modern Warfare 2 on boot camp? May another watcher please answer!

[IMPUL5E122]

I'm not sure if i completely understand your question but, if you have an intel based processor (mac) with boot camp...then all you do is install windows on the mac and once booted in windows the computer behaves just as a Pc...so yes you can play COD mw2 on your mac via bootcamp ( i do all the time)

[arunkumar311]

Simple, you just hold the options key in the start. switch on windows, and wolla, the windows games are all yours! Parallels is for running side by side, something boot camp can't do... Boot camp comes free with every new mac.

[arunkumar311]

Whats the point of purchasing this.. i rather run boot camp.. still can play my games

[jesycachin]

hi,.. How can you play windows games with ur boot camp? can teach me? need to change it to what format? I can't play Highstreet5 ! How? HELP pls... I saw from HS5 forum that some1 can play it by Boot Camp..

[iSuperShadow]

[Dox0123]

thats something like wndows Virtual PC. thats nice :D i really need to have a Mac :D

[howelsybuzzin]

can anyone tell me how i can use EXE downloads on my mac because mac sucks for games so i need to download games usin exe.plz help anyone

[Vaffeljern2]

I was also wondring about that before. I had a mac and was always tiered of .dmg.

[Kin632]

.dmg is macintosh disk image .app is macintosh application try using CrossOver or Darwine to run executables. or bootcamp

[Nanotech11]

I don't think Mac OS X can recognize/use .exe so it doesn't work...

[rkukentertainment]

Use Cross Over for Mac, its software that allows you to install games and software originally for Windows on a Mac and unlike others its a Mac program so it runs them within OSX

[guacamoleroxmysox]

how do you just run windows?

[00kalm]

"purchase"? ;)

[rkukentertainment]

On Boot Camp will a virus security installed on Windows also protect the Mac side, cause I'm getting a mac soon and i don't want to buy a new virus centre but I have Nod32 subscription left so...?

[Nanotech11]

I don't think that the windows partition can recognize the mac partition, however, you have read/write access to the windows partition from the mac partition if the file format on the windows partition is Fat32.

If you want a antivirus for Mac I would suggest ClamXav, it's free as well.

[Mysterhead]

lol good thing i had 3 extra copys of xp and 2 of vista! i wish that parallels would support the driver for orange box

[halmara]

At last something well done on Youtube!!

Great.

[viciousdave119]

VMware is better and has more features than paralells. Plus VMware has worked with Apple virtualization for years longer than paralells has.

[coolass222]

Parallels 3.0 is too slow running it with less then 1g

Boot Camp runs it Smooth as ever.

[C3ment]

Parallels SUX!!! Get bootcamp this uses all ur ram!! NOT WORTH IT.

[ngoniko]

... some people want to use it side by side, 2 gb of ram is enough and macbook can use 3 gb of ram

[C3ment]

what about people like me, who only have 1 gig of ram?! if u wanna spend tons of money on buying 3gigs of ram, fine, but i dont.

[ngoniko]

? it's 135 bucks at apple store, and cheaper online...

[C3ment]

not in south africa... and it costs more to import. anyway, my point is, instead of spending more money on ram and parallels, just get boot camp (its free)

[ngoniko]

ok yea thanks for telling me that now lol

[sweetjummy]

dude shut up you do not live in South Africa. You wouldn't be spending your money on a computer, you would be helping your brothers. Think about what you say ok? Its a big deal there.

[C3ment]

lol i almost laughed at that comment. i DO live in south africa, not sure how i can prove it, but i do. firstly i dont have a clue what you are trying to say, and secondly, yes i do have a computer. I live in a HOUSE, with ELECTRICITY and BROADBAND internet. and btw i dont have any brothers. hmm what else do i have? iPod classic 160gig, cellphone! lots of stuff

[abbgtpogipkiupog]

so why "lol" idiot?

[povcardesigns]

They are basically the same in design so why bother. I wouldn't waste my money on vista, I rather go back to XP.

[flawless1979]

pc world employees are a bunch of clowns you dont need to pay for vista or parallels ever heard of torrents??????????

[dontwalkhand]

Have you heard of ILLEGAL? PCWorld will not endorse activities that are against the law.

[WHATEVERJUSTREGISTER]

PC World using Macs.. hihihi.
