    You can run Vista on Boot Camp yes, why I don't know :P But yes.

    Elenore I know what you mean about there not being some things you'd like, but nearly always, you can find something that allows you to do it, if not surpass what you initially wanted.

    It just sounds like you have an iffy install of XP, mine always works flawlessly. It used to run a little slowly, but after deleting it, after deciding I just had no use for it any more, I installed it about 6 months later to play FEAR and HL2, and it's been tip top.

    You won't find any huge differences between the two, just that the Macbook Pro can run a lot more, a lot faster.
    Before you ask, I suggest avoiding the glossy screen, although it's beautiful in the shop or at first glance, you'll soon realize how much nicer anti glare would be :P

    Yeah, I figured it's just an install issue. I haven't gamed for a long time, but when the time comes I'll just reformat. No big deal really.
