Would the ability to run both mac and pc OS's at native speeds be reason to buy an intel mac for your next computer?

New Imac anyone?

Post by Blackhawk »

I just got a new Imac 24 inch 2.97ghz intel core duo... to my surprise not only does this computer or processor run Mac OSX but it also allows for installation of Win XP or Vista running at native speeds on a separate partition due to the Intel processors and Apple creating drivers to run all the hardware on the pc platform.. and not only that but these new Imacs are 64bit capable..meaning as soon as OSX Leopard releases their 64bit version you will also be able to run windows Vista or XPs 64bit system, downside is not many 64bit apps exist.(YET) the best part is if your PC gets infected by a virus you can delete the partition and reinstall without having to reformat the entire drive.

I was skeptical at first until i loaded some 3d software onto the pc side and it worked as fast if not faster than it did on the mac side.... I have been wanting something like this for years.
