[U]Now, the problem:[/U] While running Windows in bootcamp, installing Anything installs at about 25% of the regular speed. I installed FEAR on my mac and it took almost an hour and a half! On my old PC as a comparison, (Pentium III 1.0 GHz Processor) I installed the exact same game, and it took 20 minutes! What is going on!!! (I don't know if it means anything, but I noticed during the install, the fan and harddrive seemed to be doing hardly anything at all, occasionally speeding up, then quieting down almost imediatly afterwards) Why is it that Mac in Bootcamp is so slow with the harddrive?!?! Does anyone have an answer for this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
