Apple’s Boot Camp Rocks
After discussing whether I should or should not upgrade my PC a day or so ago, my 3D card on my gaming rig decides to just kick the bucket. So I’ll be getting a new 3D card sometime next week (suggestions are welcome), but in the meantime I didn’t want to lose the ability to play games, or just in general, to have access to a Windows OS. The perfect solution for me? Apple’s Boot Camp.
For those of you who don’t know, Boot Camp is a set of tools that lets you use Windows XP and Windows Vista on your Apple hardware (be it the macbooks, the iMacs, the iWhatever). Aside from the annoying Windows XP setup, the whole process is quite painless and quick.
In the end you basically have a partition that has your Windows OS on it, with all the drivers for every single piece of mac hardware installed. Even the remote, and the built-in camera. And best of all, it all works flawlessly from what I have seen so far. Really great for gaming, so there’s no real reason why people who have decided against macs purely because they lack the gaming factor.
You can now, with the help of Boot Camp, quickly boot into your Windows XP partition, play your games, and once you are bored you can boot back into your Mac OS X partition for some serious working.
