[QUOTE="Kash, post: 653051, member: 23444"] If you format the Windows partition as FAT32, then accessing the Windows files from OS X will be a relatively painless process. However, it should be noted that Windows can't natively access an OS X partition, so while you can access the Windows files from within OS X, doing so the other way would require third party software (i.e. MacDrive). For the music thing, you could place the music on the Windows partition, thereby allowing you to access it from both operating systems. Best thing to do, however, would be to place it on an external hard drive to prevent any complications due to different directory structures. You can easily access files downloaded in XP from OS X. Games will run just as smoothly as they would on any other Windows PC with similar specs. [/QUOTE]
