Hi there,
I'm buying a new computer in the next couple of months and am very tempted to go for a Mac for the first time but I have some questions if they could be answered that would be great!
1. In my work environment I am still going to need Windows for ASP.NET Software development. With Boot Camp will ALL windows applications run on this, along with web servers such as IIS?
2. I also want to play some Windows based games like Football Manager so does the same apply here? I have heard some people say that Windows games generally won't work in Macs regardless of Boot Camp but I'm not sure if they have their facts right.
3. If I can run Windows games in Boot Camp will I be able to upgrade to the top end graphics cards such as ATI Radeon 4870x2 should I ever want to play the top end windows games like Crysis? Or is this only possible on a Windows Machine with compatible motherboard?
4. What is the support like should my machine become faulty?
5. Do they come with Blu-ray and support HD?
6. Will my ISP support then (Virgin media) or will I have to use my internet through the Windows boot mode?
6. Should I go for the IMac or the Mac Pro taking into account what I have said in the above?
Thanks in advance
