1:51 PM - Boot Camp

I installed boot camp on Caryn's Macintosh. I didn't actually use the wizard though since that's what does changes to the Mac. Its not my Mac after all. I was curious as to the procedure to run Boot Camp. The new version supports Windows Vista, web cams and various other Mac features. Caryn's already got the latest Mac Pro firmware. It appears to only support 32bit versions of Windows. Caryn can't run x64 Vista on this. That's probably a good thing anyway. I personally think she should get a second disk and allocate say 20-30GB to XP and the rest to a BSD. Of course that's something I would do. Since Blizzard games run in Mac OS, she probably doesn't see a point to XP. I think she forgets that she has several Windows games like Vampire the Mascarade and so on. She's played those about as much as I've played Civilization III so far. I've only had that game less than a week. Its very complex. I wish it was easier to dual boot Windows versions. I'd love to reinstall XP for gaming. Actually now that I know the Just Journal client works in x64 vista, I don't technically need Vista.
