[QUOTE="fnp, post: 597003, member: 48718"] Thanks for all your input guys! Here's the thing with Windows based systems nowadays. To find a decently portable 13" with a 2.2Ghz processor and 2GB memory can run you up to $1500USD easily. And the fact that alot of these manufacturer's are no longer offering up XP as an OS is definitely a pain in the butt. I've looked at Dell XPS laptops, and they are only available with Vista. They still offer XP in the D series laptops. The other thing is that Apple is the only mfg offering up an onboard 6pin firewire. I hate the idea of having a PCMCIA card for an interface... So I'm still going back and forth... One last question, what is the recommended minimum partition for OSX? If I had a 160GB HD, can I partition OSX to take up 30GB and leave the rest for XP? [/QUOTE]
