For me on my early macboook, there was a huge difference in speed between fusion and windows native on the Mac installed through bootcamp. The windows drivers for the Mac are on the leopard cd so the card you have in the mac is directly supported by windows on the mac installed through boot camp.

Apparently, from what I have read in some mac forums, some people consider running windows on the mac to be a major sin, I figure each has its advantages, and when you say I'm only going to use this, or I'm only going to use that, you limit yourself. Anyway, when using fusion, in the windows device manager, and in the control panel, the sound card shows up as a sound blaster pci, I was just wondering, what it shows up as when using boot camp. Does the sound device have more functionality in boot camp than in fusion? I would have rather used boot camp honestly, but you need sighted assistance to install windows, while I probably could have gotten sighted help, you can't always assume that it will be available which is why I went with fusion. I think it's actually quite responsive, for those who have used fusion and boot camp, is there a big difference in speed?
