i would give your windows partition more space than the Mac side, but dont leave your Mac side low as shit cause that will make it not run as well as it should

the first time i partitioned it i didnt give the windows side enough (only like 30GB) and i regretted it... after my comp crashed i partitioned it differently, i think i did like like 60 or 72 GB or soemthin dont exactly remember, basically i gave windows 2/3 and mac 1/3 of the space

aiight thanks for that pointer. so do i have to download or install windows or is it already on here?

you gotta buy it, be careful though, cause it depends on what were running previously

all my programs worked with XP but when i tried to get a new PC (on Windows 7) none of my shit worked, FL, Adobe Audition, etc because they are older and not designed to run on 7... its because XP is 32 bit and Win7 is 64 bit or something like that im not 100% sure im not good with the real technical things, theres something you could download to make it work but that shit sounded way too complicated so i returned the computer and just stuck with Windows XP on my Mac

so i got to buy a windows 7 software pack? then install it and all that shit? just to be clear before i fuck up some shit...

yeah you gotta buy the Windows Operating system, you can call 1-800-MYAPPLE (apple tech support) tell them what you're doing and they'll help you with it, thats what i did, they walked me through the whole process of it because i was scared as shit too lol

but tonys, like jrb warned earlier, make sure you get xp or vista cuz win7 on some bs with some of the older software cracks

MacBook pro is the way to go. I'm getting ready to cop one. Not only that I do beats, I also direct and edit movies as well. (Future actor/director here) Like JRB said there is bootcamp, but there is something way better than bootcamp. You want to use Fusion 3. It's like bootcamp, but what makes it stand out is the fact that you can switch between Windows & Mac on the fly! You can even drag from windows to Mac side and vice versa. You have to pay for the program, but you can get it free if you know where to look. Check the videos:

see i did that, i got xp off of amazon, called apple and the muthafucka said its no real way he can walk me through an install so maybe he was just bogus...ima try and call again tho. but what caesar said about the Fusion shit, i read that it when u run parallels like that, it defeats the purpose of havin the mac's processor and other shit like that, does that ring true?
