hey Shaun,
Specs-wise I'm running a 2.4 ghz macbook pro here with 2 gb ram and the 160
GB 7200 hard drive. The graphics hardware escapes me, but I can find out if
it'll help you at all. For what it's worth, I've seen Fusion running on a
mac mini with way less oomph and an iMac 2 ghz now, and the responsiveness
of Fusion wasn't much different from system to system. Of course I could
notice the difference between them with big system intensive jobs, but
actual press a key to get a reaction time didn't seem to change much.
Hope that helps
Scott

If you don't mind can you tell me the specs of your machine? I am about
to install Windows using Fusion now. I paid for the VM product so I
maddest well use it.

Hi Shaun,
In my experience so far, your problems will start when you try to use
one instalation of windows and you want to start that up using boot camp
and fusion. The biggest problem I encountered was keeping Jaws happy
with it's wretched video intercept. You might have more luck with
Window-eyes. This problem will only affect you if you try to virtualise
your boot camp install, i.e use the same set of Windows instalation
files for both boot camp and fusion. For a while here, I had boot camp
happy with the apple drivers, and then a completely separate virtual
machine set up with a separate copy of XP in the event that I needed
Fusion. the latter option has bitten the dust now, because it took up 3
GB of disk space for something I hardly used, the lag got on my nerves.
If I have to be in Windows, I want it to be as snappy as possible so I
can get the job over with.
Hope that helps clear things up...

So what I m getting from this message is that I can't install XP on
Boot Camp and then log on to the Mac side and install Fusion with XP.
Is this a accurate statement?

you cannot have both. If you use bootcamp and install windows and
then
install and setup fusion, your bootcamp is kaput.

Listers I would like some guidance on installing Windows using Boot
Camp and Fusion. I want to do both, but I don't know where to start.
What is the best way to install Windows if I want both. The 32GB FAT32
partition size is fine but I need help with understanding both
installations. Just give me the dos and don'ts for both Boot Camp and
Fusion.
