Some light for Mac users (with Intel processor)

Post by holm188 » April 12th, 2006, 12:40 pm

I installed Apple Boot Camp and Windows XP Pro SP2 on my Imac (Intel Dual Core), I can now boot with Win or Mac (should say Mac or Win).

Then I installed RowPro and Ergmonitor, and both seem to work fine. I did a short QR on RowPro which went well and the results were online as well. For EM the DF, shape of curves and pace seemed correct.

Did someone else try?

I figured that would be the case.

When you boot windows on a Mac, won't you suck all the windows-internet trouble into your beautiful Mac?

Should I buy a new Mac, just to run windows?

Or just keep looking for this cheapy PC or win-laptop?

But, congrats on making it work!

Yes and no, I have also a PC and I do not "suck in" internet troubles!!! A good antivirus program and a firewall as well as commun sense when opening email or running/opening attachments helps a lot to keep the trouble out!

No, if you have a Mac and are happy (I guess you are?? :D ). I can say that the Mac runs WIndows much faster than my not so bad PC.

If you have already a Mac, this might be the best option. I had a PC and wanted to go back to Mac, when the possibility with Intel & Windows showed up I jumped on it. I rum OS X whenever I can and just go to WIndows for applications like Rowpro.
