Hi guys,
Just wondering if someone can give me some advice and point me in the right direction. What it is I want to install Windows 7 on my Mac Pro G5. I'm complete n00b when it comes to computers lol. Is this a easy job? Why I want to install Windows 7 on my Mac Pro is because I want to record my game (MW3) footage from my PS3. I have a laptop running Windows XP but the laptop old and slow and keeps crashing. I been trying all day to get Dazzle Pinnacle to work but no luck only works with Windows. I did find out I could run it with Videoglide on my Mac but free demo wouldn't work. I'm gonna take the Dazzle capture card back and get Hauppauge HD PVR Gaming Edition so I can record in HD. But that card only works with Windows. That's why need put Windows 7 on my Mac.
Just need to know few more things
1) Will my Mac have enough memory to run Windows 7?
2)Will my Mac have enough memory memory to run Hauppauge HD PVR card?
3)What Windows 7 package do I need?
My Mac Pro G5 Spec this is what I got

The specs of Hauppauge HD PVR card
System Requirements
PC with 3.0 GHz single core or 2.0 GHz multi-core processor
Microsoft® Windows® 7 (32 or 64-bit), Windows Vista or Windows XP Service Pack 3
512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended)
Graphics card with 256MB memory
Sound card
220 MB free hard disk space

Will this Windows 7 package be ok?
