Hello people!
I am about to buy a Macbook Pro
with the following specs:
2.2Ghz C2D
4GB RAM
NVidia 8600M GT 256MB
It's pretty similar to the specs of my XPS M1530 except is has a faster CPU. I would like to dual boot it with Windows 7 so I can play my Steam games on there, is performance going to be equivilent to my laptop or do Macs run slower?
I have no idea with these as I have never owned a Mac before, how do I go about dual booting? I know you can get some kind of virtual environment for Windows but I know from experience that virtual environments don't work for games so just need to know some info and having a native Windows partition set-up for dual booting.
