[QUOTE="ronosmena, post: 288897, member: 23823"] i have been thinking about this, I have a bunch of windows programs that does not have a mac version (Pro Show Director) reading through the posts on which way to go either dual boot or a run along side setup, I have a few questions. 1. If we do a run along side is it the same as the one that comes with the MAC:Microsoft Office? When I got my MAC MS OFC, it came with a windows xp, does it affect graphics/resolution? Will you just have a window that displays the XP app? Or is it a log off and switch OS and your entire display becomes XP ? 2. In dual boot situations (pertaining to MAC BOOK PRO, which I am planning on getting in Frys tonight) when you boot in XP mode, is it like seeing the exact PC version? I love mac for all my graphics but i have to use XP stuff for some of my graphic programs that they dont have MAC versions yet. 3. In running XP in a Mac Book Pro, have you tried installing a windows version of Photoshop CS2? does it run faster in a PC with the Duo chip and about 2 gigs of ram? (I am very curious in this if some has tried it) Thanks people! [/QUOTE]
