whenever you refer to processor power you actually notice that after
dual core here is an interesting mode. go to quad core and windows
based system only use dual core leaving the other two cores open for
extended applications and further data handling. as I'm aware its the
same on the mac platform where a quad core or even octo core processor
config will use the first two cores for main OS and app steering. then
after that other cores are assigned to run other functions. perfect
examples are found in products including logic, final cut pro and
other applications
as regards the windows on a mac front I would personally stear clear
of running in bootcamp mode as even then damage can occur which can
affect the behaviour of the zero sector of the hard drive. running in
VM or parallels is slightly safer but can also lead to attacks. it has
been tested and proven by friends of mine in the I.T sector and an old
colleague in product development for a company I dealt with on the
windows platform.
so please people stick to some good advice, stick to a seperate
windows box rather than intergrated windows on the mac. thats my word
on the day and if anyone wants to bark at me then cool but my answer
will of course be..... woof.
woof woof woof lol

Was simply bringing up a point as others were. And as some have
stated, that might not even be correct. I was under the impression
when I wrote that, that Fusion couldn't be configured any other way,
but some are saying that it is possible, so my point might not be
valid.
Anyway, regarding 1 core vs 2 cores, I personally feel that that
percentage of processing is absolutely enough to be noticed! yes?
<smile>
Anyway, it's not something I'll be losing sleep over though! lol!
Have an awesome day, K?…

As powerfull and fast as processors are now-a-days that's hardly

Actually one good reason to use BC is that with Fusion you are
only using one core of your processor to run each OS and with BC
you're using both cores with one OS.

Windows on my machine I just through it in the trash, no fooling

You are still open to nasties if you run a vm because you are

are a result of vm.

Subject: Re: Boot camp vs Fusion vs Parrallels
Why is Boodcamp best? Sorry, I don't agree.
1: If you use Fusion, you are stil working inside the Mac
operating
system. that means you have better security. If you use
Bootcamp, you
only have the security features in Windows, and you have opened
for
viruses and other things. I haven't tried Bootcamp, so I'm not
sure
about that. I read it in a forum.
2: You don't need sighted assistance in fusion to install
Windows. The
program does it automaticly.
