hi, I have a macbook pro 17'', with a bootcamp partition. And I run Rhino under Parallels (using the bootcamp partition as a virtual machine), it works perfect with small/medium files, but with big grasshopper definitions it takes some time to refresh. I believe that it will run better with your computer. I also recomend you to install a lite version of winXP (I use Shadow Lite). Good luck!
