I will probably be switching to mac within 3 months (getting a macbook pro), and I have a few questions.
1. Is it worth the $500 difference between the 2.2ghz Macbook pro and the 2.4ghz macbook pro, along with the graphics cards differences? What are the noticeable differences between the two, performance-wise. How much more can the 2.4ghz model (15.4") handle, graphically?
2. How well does VMware Fusion work? does it run XP and Vista pretty well, or does it lag alot, or is it slow?
3. When running XP or Vista (using bootcamp) can it handle as much, graphically, as any PC based Laptop with the same specs?
4. For bootcamp, am I able to install my Windows partition to an external drive, and connect it when I want to boot to windows, or do I have to install the partition to my internal drive?
Thanks in advance.
