Windows + iMac = Perfect
permalink
At first I was a bit skeptical about running Windows XP on my iMac. I finally got ahold of the newer alumminum designed iMac and it does have an Intel chip in it so I decided to give it a shot. Using Bootcamp the installation was painless and quick. Currently I dedicated 50GB of my 250GB HD to Windows.

Windows runs perfectly. I havent had any problems yet and it runs smoother than my actual Windows computer. I installed a couple games and played Battlefield 2. It ran amazing and looked beautiful on my iMacs display.

Sorry about the crap quality, camera phone.

Wow that's pretty cool man. It's great for Windows Gamers with a Mac.

Yeah. So far it feels like a Mac would of been a better Windows computer :/ . Nevertheless I got 2 computers in one.

they should sell mac's without mac's OS

and make it able to accept windows as the only Os

likewise, they should also sell OSX as a seperate OS, able to run on any chip or computer configuration..

they do,they're called PC's. Inside there really isn't any difference in the machines. They're all intel machines just like the majority of the PC's. We've gone way passed the day of the PPC structure...which I still prefer over the new system.
