[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1407141, member: 42497"] 1. OEM will work but not an upgrade or a brand specific disc such as for a Dell or HP. 2. Why? Because it is faster and recognises more memory. 3. No the computer will handle that with Windows accessing what the system wants. With 16GB you may get 2GB with 32bit and 4GB with 64bit. 4. Bootcamp will make the partition and it is important you not do this in Disk Utility. If it is a 1TB drive, 400GB for Windows will leave about 550GB for OS X after formatting. And installing Bootcamp, necessary to have the hard drive in one single partition. [/QUOTE]
