[QUOTE="trademark, post: 1136621, member: 30066"] It's really not a guess, and it's really not that confusing of a message. I'm just reading it and understanding it like any other post on a forum. Perhaps I've been on many different forums too long and have a high tolerance for sorting the meaning of posts out, but there isn't that much ambiguity in this particular example. I'll let it go there, though. No use in getting too worked up over it. I just find it hard to believe you guys would be baffled by its meaning. Not including a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence and a comma after OS shouldn't alter its meaning too drastically though. Now, if I may, I'd like to further the topic and question along with ckutka. So, supposedly the 5770 won't work on windows machines because of its rom clashing with the windows operating system or windows components. How does this come into play with bootcamp, then? There is no parallel emulation when running bootcamp, as it's windows getting its own partition for windows, so you're getting windows in its entirety. How come the 5770 still works when using bootcamp if there's a rom issue? Is there something specific about how the rom communicates with the chipset or logic board that's specific to apple proprietary hardware? Those cards do work with bootcamp with no issues. [/QUOTE]
