[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1501715"] To get the exact specs of the machine you have, click on the apple logo in the top left of the screen, then About This Mac and you should be able to see what version of OSX you have, what type processor, your RAM and other details about the machine. If it's what you described, it's pretty old. A newer machine would be able to run VMWare or Parallels, letting you have a virtual machine with Windows on it. You may be able to run BootCamp and install Windows, given that you have an Intel processor, but on that machine it would be slower than on something more modern. I have Parallels for the one Windows app I need. It runs either as a desktop itself, or I can choose what they call Coherence, where Windows Apps run on the same OSX desktop that OSX apps do, with Windows in the background. IF you really do have irreplaceable Windows apps, that might be a solution for you. You'd get Apple reliability for hardware, Windows for your apps. [/QUOTE]
