Question for Boot Camp users

03-01-2010, 09:52 AM

I want to run Bootcamp with XP so that I can play a few games on my MacBook. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth all the trouble. Does anyone have any experience with installation and running it? I am interested in any comments and feedback.

Works great, I'm running Windows 7 64Bit on my MBP15...

No problems here running windows 7. Have it set up to play GTA IV. Beware that it runs damn hot running any highly visual like a game. I always set mine up so that it gets air underneath. You may want to consider getting a fan based laptop cooler to run games. I actually have mine set up so I can use my cinemascreen monitor with the lid down. Enjoy.

Did you need an external USB keyboard during install or were you able to use the built in keyboard?
