[QUOTE="Lofty, post: 452257, member: 35406"] My PC crashed on me a couple of weeks ago. It wasnt just my PC but it was my gaming rig as well. It was slightly outdated so I figured instead of wasting money fixing it, a Mac has always appealed to me.....so what the hey? I bought a Mac Pro Workstation. My question is this. There are a few PC based programs that I would still love to use, especially games. Rather than using a software solution to do this, can I add a second HD to my tower that is loaded with Windows only and swicth back and forth between the two? My concern is keeping the system fast and not lagging things down by running two operating systems at the same time. If I could do that, would PC based games work on a Mac video card? Any issues with Direct X 9 with Mac hardware? Thanks for any help or suggestions. [/QUOTE]
