[QUOTE="redwolf4k, post: 1070367, member: 145838"] Hey all, I want to play a few games on my white unibody macbook that are exclusive to windows. I like MMOs and besides WoW, I cannot really run any other MMO clients. I wanted to try out FFXI, and then play the new SW MMO that will be releasing soon. I have a licensed copy of Windows XP SP2, and I was conidering setting up a boot camp partition on the macbook. Windows XP is so old however.... The good things are that the OS only takes about 2gb of HD space to install, leaving my rather small 250gb HD in the macbook as free as possible running an extra OS.. How secure is XP with SP3 with all the latest updates these days? I would only be using the XP partition for games, never browsing the net, or doing anything sensitive. In that case, it should be rather secure, correct? Investing money into getting Windows 7 just does not seem economical, in order to play a few games.. Opinions? [/QUOTE]
