[QUOTE="RCh, post: 562992, member: 29743"] Hello everyone! It seems this was not discussed before... I experience strange behavior of Mac OS after installing windows XP home on a bootcamp partition. The Windows itself runs at lightning speed, however (1) the boot time (the grey screen) increased considerably; (2) The Mac OS becomes really slow (and I mean SLOW - the UI response, program launch time, everything). After erasing the Win partition everything returned to order. While I can justify first point, I can't really understand why it impacts so negatively the native OS. First, I thought it was a problem of BootCamp being a beta (tried it under Tiger). I erased the partition and decided to wait for Leopard. Installed Leopard + 10.5.1 - same problem. I have an iMac '17 with 2Gb RAM and 120 Gb hdd free AFTER creation of 25Gb Win partition. Did enyone experienced the same? Any ideas how to deal with that (other then buying a dedicated Win machine)? Thanks! RC [/QUOTE]
