17" iMac 2GHz Core 2 Duo Booting Windows XP Pro

http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
I used Apples Bootcamp software, and it works flawlessly. Windows XP is a backtrack but I need it so I can use programs my college supplies me with.

What slowed the restart and the boot of XP a bit was the external Mac Mini look alike drive which was connected.

I have been looking into buying a core 2 duo and iMac and have a couple of question.

1. Does this mac run well with snow leopard?

2. Is windows more stable on apples hardware?

Thanks

@electrotech555

Core 2 Duo iMacs run Snow Leopard fine. Windows is Windows & I dont see so much y it woud run more stable. But the only thing I can think of is that Apple Provides all the necessary Drivers and software for the iMacs to run everything perfectly right from the Snow Leopard installation disc.

Whoah isn't that a Power-PC G5 iMac?

Then why does it say its an Intel Mac?

I Swear the all-white ones were only Power-PC, and the silver/chrome and black iMacs were Intel...

Shit I got myself all confused.

@DanielHeusburgh

Wow you're really out there LOL.. check out a very handy link in the info box & you'll see the specs for yourself.

It all 1st started with White Intel Core Duo iMacs in Early 2006. In Late 2006 Apple Announced them with Core 2 Duo Chips.

Same exact form factor outside as the last iMac G5 version, only with totally different guts inside.

Whoa, is that the original AirPort?

@TheGeek1028

That Airport was the last revision of the mushroom design. I haven't had it since 2006 or when the current square version was introduced because I wanted the Wireless N draft support which this airport didn't have.

I actually miss the look of the old mushroom Airport. I liked the White LED status lights vs the current Green and Amber lights which just don't match the Mac Look. Current design is just boring.
