[QUOTE="RobbertV, post: 807067, member: 86586"] I would NOT install Windows through parallels if you are going to use it for heavy programs. For example: 3D will totally NOT work through parallels. Though, Apple has this program delivered free with your iMac or MacBook which is called "BootCamp". In Bootcamp, you make a partition which is ready to get windows installed on. Then, as soon as windows is installed, you can keep the alt-key pressed and you get a dualboot screen, where you can choose the windows or the Mac OS X partition. In Windows, you can install all the drivers with one click, because they're on the Mac OS X install-cd. The pro of this way is that Windows is using the whole machine, every little bit of the graphicscard etc. If you run Windows in parallels; most of the computer's power will be used to run OS X and parallels, which runs Windows on his time. So you lose a lot of the power :) Short: Windows is installable on the macbook, through parallels (VMware) and bootcamp, but bootcamp makes your mac a complete windowspc, while parallels stays in OS X and makes a virtual windowspc. Good luck choosing! I found it hard ;) [/QUOTE]
