Windows - When installing Win, does the computer slow down significantly?

Just curious question. I am still debating whether get Windows or not (which I probably will eventually for work) but my QUESTION IS...
when install windows on macbook, will it slow down significantly? I just got a 2.4Ghz macbook and its BLAZING fast and i really dont want it to go any slower.lol. Just weighing my options. Thanks.

You will have to try it for yourself to be satisfied there is no drop in performance. You always have the option of formatting and doing a clean install back to Leopard only if you wish.

Just my opinion... But Win XP runs the fastest I've ever seen it run when it's running on my MacBook. Your mileage may vary of course, but I can tell you that XP with 2 Gb memory and a Core 2 Duo 2.4 CPU is a happy camper!

Regards.
