[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 697050, member: 38864"] Correct. All Boot Camp does is set up the system to let you start an install of Windows as a dual-boot solution. When people say they are running Windows under Boot Camp, they technically are being misleading. There is no program called "Boot Camp" that is running once Windows is installed, nor while Windows is running. When you start up the computer, you either boot into OS X or into Windows. With Parallels or Fusion, you are running Windows "in a window" while logged into OS X. This works well for many people. Most 3D games and apps that require the most out of a computer don't work so well though. I assume you have this MBP in front of you? Just go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". From there you'll have access to all the system specs. [/QUOTE]
