Ok. This is all really helpful. :) I have a couple more questions, where can I get edsharp? And what is a cpu, you were talking about 1 cpu or 4 cpu? I am pretty good with computers, but sometimes I miss the technical words. Also, do I need boot camp going in order to use vm fusion? And I dont need windows for mac, just regular windows for pc will do right? I am planning on buying extra ram for my mac and I think I will install jaws on the windows side. thanks so much for all the advice guys, I really appreciate it. THe only other thing I wonder, is if there is a step by step tutorial or podcast on how to install all of this. :) Laurel
