[QUOTE="Namingweary, post: 651182, member: 55378"] Thanks everyone by the way for the responses, very helpful!! I am not usually up for using Anti-Virus software to be honest, so if I can run a good Mac (I am also very careful at what I download and look at) without AV software, I am happy. And real quick to confirm, you're saying if I BootCamp Windows XP and want to right click i put say, my Middle and Index finger on the touchpad (granted I am not using a USB mouse) and then press the button to get a shell menu? And that if I bootcamp windows, in order to actually, DELETE something, instead of using the Backspace key which is DELETE for MACOSX then I need to right click and do it manually? Also, what do you guys prefer, that I bootcamp Windows or that I use the way to run Windows and mac at the sametime? or are both possible, if say, I just wanted to be running windows at one point? I would probably do most of my torrenting in Windows, however, I do want to be able to do it on the MacOSX if I am working on something. I thought uTorrent also had a MACOSX version? I am not really sure what I want to use on Windows that Mac won't support yet, I would say computer games but I actually don't play them much anymore so it's not a big deal to me. That's actually one of the reasons I got a MacBook (the graphics card in it isn't as superior for gaming, but it didn't bother me much), mostly for design, e-mail, etc. I just want the comfort of having the best of both worlds, even though I am not totally against Leopard yet because I really have never used it, and who knows, maybe I will REALLY like it more than Windows. Is there anything to say about the performance of the *Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory*... Stinks that it's shared with the main memory but I can't expect much out of a card like this. [/QUOTE]
