[QUOTE="DrQuincy, post: 371618, member: 22571"] Hi all I'm not much of a gamer but I've decided to install XP on my Macbook Pro. Also, I think this will leave me short of hard drive space so I'm going to get an external drive. I have a few questions: - Is the Macbook Pro a good spec for gaming? I have the 2.16 Ghz Core Duo w/ 2 GB RAM - Can I install games onto an external hard drive (firewire 800) and still get reasonable performance? - Although beta is boot camp pretty stable? - Can I format my external hard drive so that Windows and OS X can read the files? - If I store all non-OS files for XP on the external hard drive how big a partition should I make for XP? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
