[QUOTE="GARoss, post: 995642, member: 103771"] I confess. I love my iMac. But, while rare, I still boot into XP on Bootcamp as there are a few programs I own & use; namely Sony Vegas & Xara (sorry FC but the switch is too $$$ not to mention learning new software. Besides, I don't use these that often). It is a hassle booting back & forth so I thought I'd ask some users what they thought of my idea; Delete XP/Bootcamp off Macintosh HD. Install XP Home on VirtualBox & maybe upgrade to Windows 7 at a later date. Well, that's it. But, is there a performance difference running these on VirtualBox vs Bootcamp? I have 4gb RAM on iMac Intel 2.66 Ghz DualCore using OS X 10.6.2. Just thought I'd ask. [/QUOTE]
