| Okay with all the new news about Windows running on the latest Intel based macs, I want to take the time to talk to you guys about OS virtualization.
At face value it looks nothing more than something like vmware which emulates hardware in a window and is let's face it. Ass slow. But let's say you have a really modern Mac with a dual core processor and 1.5GBs of ram. You can allocate one of your cores to Windows XP and give it 512mb of ram to roam with. Not only does the parent OS still behave VERY fast and normal (It's got one core still and 1gb of ram) but the host OS is just as fast with 512mb of ram and a core of the processor. Which means you can run OS X and Windows XP at the same time at amazing speeds. Why is this cool? Well, for most users honestly, it's nothing more than "wow" factor. But when you're a developer or you're a mac user and your job REQUIRES you to use some weird Windows only app, it's a godsend. After the summer is up, I might buy myself on of the latest macs.. anyone want to loan me 2 grand so I can go all out?  |

| I need money for future computer parts...Planning on getting a dual processor with a motherboard that support quad-rendering in the latest games I want to play....
But damn, Dual OS? I never heard of that...I heard of dual processing and graphics... I still dont exactly see the point other than buisness designes...Mac programs have remarkable applications for graphic designs for making banners for road signs or something like that...They also have good apps. to where sticking with a mac on designes work 10X better than Windows.... |

| I currently started running Microsoft Virtual PC 2004(trial version) just to see how it is.. and like you said jin, it is fricken slow... I wish I had a duel core proc right now, *shrugs* but I do have it on it's own 512 of memory because I do have 1.5 gigs (would be 2 if I had an extra slot on my mobo) |
