Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Wednesday, April 18 2007 22:23 Profile Homepage #31 Boot Camp works very well and parallels is very good too. Some people prefer Fusion, though. The good thing about Fusion, is that you can run Windows from your Boot camp partition. I tried it, but was not very content, so I went back to parallels. But Windows runs fine in all three. The screenshots I posted in this thread of my iMac running Windows, is with Parallels. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

The other nice thing about VMware Fusion is that it has preliminary 3D graphics support. They're up to DirectX 8 and still working. Iwould like to point out that the latest version of Parallels allows you to run yur Bootcamp partion. I don't do this beaause my Bootcamp OS is Vista, and I only have 1 GB of RAM total, so running Vista and OS X at the same time is really not an option. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

Trust me.[/QB] I don't know about that, the Boot Camp drivers Apple provides work dang smooth. I've done a lot of Windows installs and Images on a lotta machines, Dells, Gateways, Custom Builts, and the installs and Images I've done on Macs (Imac, MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro) have been the smoothest installs I've ever done. Even if all you wanted to run was Windows, while I'd like to say by all means get a plain jane white box, Apple provides a smoother experience for getting WIndows up and going than any "Windows" Provider I've dealt with. That's sad. I mean really sad. Windows computer manufactures could learn from Apple, a disk with all the drivers I need. Not some link to a webpage, or a partition on my drive, or a disk with 100 spyware apps I don't need. Just install my drivers n be done. Smooth.
