444240 2006-04-21 12:54:00 yesterday I installed Boot Camp and Xp on the 17 inch Core Duo Intel iMac. I wasn't expecting much, but I'm very impressed! I ran GTA San Andreas and Call of Duty 2 and both run fast with graphics options turned up.

Why do I want to do this? Well, I run a Mac as our family computer. It's stable and safe. It doesn't require much support from me as the family find it difficult to break. Without wanting to start a "My OS is better than your OS" war,I prefer modern incarnations of OS X to XP. The build quality of our Intel iMac is very high, it's nearly silend and runs cool. It's a very neat and tidy computer that simply looks very good. I own a PC purely for games and one or 2 other programs that I like, with this configuration I can now get rid of the PC entirely.

Installing Windows was extremely, thanks to the ease of Apples Boot Camp - even a beginner could do it with little fuss.

Macs are much improved on what they once were - there was a time before OSX when I wouldn't touch a mac, but now they are great systems that I might actually spend money on when I can afford to upgrade my old 2ghz machines.

Apparently if you compare some games on Mac OS and XP with bootcamp, you'll (not suprisingly) find that XP is faster.

444246 2006-04-24 02:41:00 I have to work with both 'Macs' and PC's and I have yet to find any cause to own a 'Mac' I have found both to be reasonably reliable in both Software and Hardware, the main reason I would not use a 'Mac' at home is the price of the components and the fact that you cant mix'n'match components to build a machine for your needs. kwaka (10149)
