[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 249350, member: 8287"] All I will say is this, If you completely ZAP OSX, you can not install the latest bootcamp. Why is that important? Bootcamp even with the latest update has driver issues with the Mac Pro. Read Anands BLOG on Anandtech. In WINDOWS XP the HDD's operate like old PIO drives with maybe 4MB per second transfer rate. If there is no OSX, there is no way to install the new Bootcamp to correct this problem when it is fixed. So no matter what you want to do, It's still silly to zap OSX all the way. Keep a Small install at least for the bootcamp updates which right now are very important. Otherwise I agree, it's your computer and you can do what you want. All I am trying to do is help people not make it hard later to fix things when updates come out. Here is a URL to that BLOG. [url]http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/default.aspx?bid=287[/url] [/QUOTE]
