[QUOTE="chscag, post: 890923, member: 46727"] You didn't say which MBP you're planning on getting - but in any event, the base 2 GB of memory should be enough to run Windows in a Boot Camp partition. Most Windows games will run just fine with 2 GB. More important is the graphics processor. Keep that in mind when you purchase the MBP. As for changing the original partition size after it's set, yes you can but it involves some work. You always want to make sure that any partition resizing does not result in data loss or the inability to boot Windows. There are several free applications which can do it. "WinClone" is one, and "CampTune" from Paragon software is another. However, I would advise you to allow enough space for the Windows partition when you first create it. That of course depends on which version of Windows you decide on using. XP requires less space than Vista or Windows 7 so plan accordingly. Regards. [/QUOTE]
