[QUOTE="JusBL@zE, post: 334488, member: 26820"] Hey biguglyman, I'm new to the Mac world, just over a week old newbie. I believe if you want to run Windows XP on a Mac, Bootcamp will be the best solution as far as performance is concern. Here's the link to Bootcamp - [url]http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/[/url] Run XP natively Once you’ve completed Boot Camp, simply hold down the option key at startup to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. (That’s the “alt” key for you longtime Windows users.) After starting up, your Mac runs Windows completely natively. Simply restart to come back to Mac. I believe Parallel is a virtual machine that runs pretty smooth. Should cost around $80. Here's the link for Parallel - [url]http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/[/url] Parallels Desktop for Mac is the first solution for Intel-Macs that give you the flexibility of running Windows on a Mac OS X simultaneously without rebooting. But then again, i'm not a Mac expert. [/QUOTE]
