Actually, on my mac mini, the responsiveness with fusion is quite
good, I'm sure boot camp would be somewhat faster, but if I would ever
need to reinstall, windows, I would needed sighted help. Also, my
windows xp cd is only service pack 1, according to the boot camp
manual, you need a native service pack 2 disk, though I have also
heard of people installing earlier versions of XP without problems.

Subject: fusion and boot camp
Hi everyone, well I did go ahead and purchase fusion, there are times
when running windows XP on my mac does come in handy. 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?
