thanx for the vid, really useful

i have a question im thinking on installing xp on my mac, basically to play games, such as AoE3 and maybe CoD4

but my question is...

AFTER i installed xp with bootcamp do i need to get those service packs in order to play those games?

[MACINTOSHallTHEway]

service pack 2? shouldn't your copy of windows be XP SP2? and if not, it'll automatically update.

comes with os x leopard

I think they added bootcamp because some people need windows. This might be the case for students who go to schools that are lmited to windows and also gamers who want to play games that are available only for windows. By adding bootcamp it basically takes away all of macs flaws of not bein able to run some windows products.

@xPersianSkaterx you need os x 10.5.8 or higher to run bootcamp wow you have os x 1.5 you need to upgrade big time but i don't know if you already did or not if you did not i would recommend you do upgrade to snow leopard so you can run boot camp and run windows on you mac ok

Do you know if Microsoft Office will be available if you download it? Can you download Windows 7?

@w7y7a7t7t and an intel cpu in your mac

[WilliamDanoldWard]

@xPersianSkaterx does your mac have an intel cpu?

[w7y7a7t7t]

well im not a 100% but i beleive you need leopard or snow leopard to use boot camp

[boobmarcus]

Of course we cant have osx on pc. Its the mighty Os LOOOL. No but seriously, it's better this way. PC's weren't build for leopard anyways
