Well if you do that, then you have to reinstall mac os. you can't partition a drive with a full os using all of the hard drive space. BootCamp works alittle differently then partitioning a hard drive manually

Well now I am totally torn. Basically I want to edit my videos, and either need Final Cut stuff or Adobe stuff. I can't use final cut unless I go with Mac. I don't have to get a laptop just to get Adobe stuff, since I have a fine desktop to use. I can upgrade that if necessary.
Why does Mac have issues with gaming?

Ifitwasnt4u, how come you recommend Dell but are talking about the Mac chipset?
What kind of video editing are you hoping to do? I use Sony Vegas...is that all you need?

That is what I use, but I am limited now or I can say I have plateaued. I haven't used every feature but there are thinks I won't to move forward on, professional things I want to do, and Vegs I don't think can provide this anymore.

Because no one wants to bother designing their game to work on a Mac.

Ok. wink Nah, it doesn't come with Office, but it comes with their own software suite for partitioning the drive, energy monitoring, arcade, movie player, and cd/dvd burning suite.

I have my own copy of Office 2000 I'm still using, so it's a moot point for me. At least I can run PowrTuner on it, despite having Vista. laugh
