[QUOTE="bluto00, post: 1804128, member: 34439"] Hi, I am not concerned with the virus software on the Mac side. I have downloaded Avast for both computers and it seems to work just fine. But I [U]do[/U] need to know if the version of Boot Camp and my MacPro 1,1 OS will support 32 bit Windows 8.1. I don't want to buy a key or software only to find out it is not compatible. I KNOW that Windows 7 will work on it but if the Windows 8 will work it gives me a newer, longer supported software from Windows. Just to mention what I read some time ago... the Intel Macs don't have as many viruses or whatever but they do have some since the dual OS chip is running on the system. I read (and don't take this to the bank) that it can cross transfer between the OS systems other software running on both sides. Thanks for the reply, Clark [/QUOTE]
