Hi Kate. Yes, Windows XP says that it’s sharing the same internet connection. As for the ram thing, of course it would run fast for you because you have 16 gigs. Like I said, this standard MacBook can only have 4 gigs in it so is it worth upgrading to 6? I did read something a few weeks ago that I could apply bootcamp internet drivers to fusion 5 but I don’t know how to do that.
