My PC's life is coming to an end and I've got to make some desisions here. I need a MAC to run a couple of Mac only programs for university, but I'm a Pc fan cos of the simple access to parts to repair the things and the fact that when it goes wierd you can usually get it going again quickly. I reckon its gonna cost me around 900 pounds (~$1300) to get my PC up to a decent spec again and buy a second hand G4 from ebay. Its gonna cost me a couple of hundred more for the Mac Pro but the awesome spec is starting to sway me, plus I hear you can run Windows XP. Here's my question (finally): Would you say I'm guarenteed to be able to install Windows XP on the Mac and use this boot camp program? (what exactly is this? Is it just the program that allows you to select a different OS at startup? Or is it some stupid emulator thats gonna compromise windows performance?). I would only buy it if it was extemely likely it was going to work, I need XP for several other programs. Is there anyone on this forum who has plain failed to install windows and doesn't have an answer to it? As long as it is possible, even with some mucking around I'll go for it. But hey I'm rambling, a bit of advice here would be great!
thanks
