InsideMacGames posted some interesting comments by Ryan Gordon and by the folks at Blizzard on this issue. There's a debate going on as to whether anybody will bother to develop games for the Mac now that you can run Windows. Until we have a chance to fully test it, enjoy Anandtech's report on Boot Camp versus Parallel's Workstation. There's no hardware acceleration using the graphics processor (Radeon X1600). If you plan on running 3D Games, you are in for a major letdown since, just like with Virtual PC, all graphics are rendered in software usng only the CPU - one CPU. You best have 2GB in your Intel Mac if you go this route.

And since it runs simultaneously with Mac OS X, it's going to gobble up its share of memory. Keep in mind that it only allows you to use one core on the Intel Core Duo Macs. We plan to try running Windows XP using Parallels Workstation VMM Beta and will post the results soon on this page. WHAT ABOUT PARALLELS WORKSTATION VMM for OS X?

When I want to play a game that isn't available or optimized for Mac OS, I'll now be able to slither over to Windows XP. When I want to get some real work done, I'll be using Mac OS X.
#RUNNING BOOTLEG PHOTOSHOP ON A MACBOOK MAC OS X#
The main downside having both Windows XP and Mac OS X on the same Mac? It's a little schizoid having to reboot to use one OS or the other. After seeing our test results, you're going to be tempted to obtain a Windows edition to run while you are waiting for Adobe to finish their Universal Binary version of the Mac edition. If you own an Intel Mac, your Mac edition of Photoshop CS2 will run very sluggishly. The applications that do NOT run "native" (yet) on the Intel Macs (Photoshop CS2 and Halo) get blown away by the native Windows version. (We tried to do some encoding of video with QuickTime Pro 7 Windows edition but QT Player quit every time we selected the Export function.) Isn't it interesting that Mac OS X excelled in the two CPU intensive tests (iTunes and Cinebench CPU Render)? Hopefully we can expand that part of our testing to include more CPU intensive tasks like Mathematica and others. That's the game." That's true about comparing 3D graphics apps in this test session: Windows XP "Boot Camp" won two (Doom 3 and UT2004) and OS X "UB" apps won two (CineBench HW OpenGL animation and Quake 3).

My 3 year old grandson, who plays chess, checkers, and backgammon on his own iMac G4 Flat Panel, has a saying: "Sometimes I win, sometimes it wins. It also helped that there already existed editions for both Windows and Mac OS. The test results we posted were weighted heavily toward 3D games because those developers have been able to convert their applications more quickly to Universal Binary than many of the producers of productivity or professional apps. But to see it running so well is very trippy. Mac OS X - Apple's MacBook Pro with 2.0GHz Core Duo, 2GB of 667MHz memory and Radeon X1600 Mobility GPU running Mac OS X "Tiger" (10.4.6)Īnyone familiar with Virtual PC is not tripped out to see Windows XP running on a Mac. Windows XP - A MacBook Pro with 2.0GHz Core Duo, 2GB of 667MHz memory and Radeon X1600 Mobility GPU running Windows XP Professional This task was a little frustrating since the apps must run under both Mac OS and Windows, and, in the case of Mac OS X, must be Universal Binary (UB) versions - for a fair fight. Just like you, we wanted to know how well apps ran under Windows XP compared to running the same apps under Mac OS X "Tiger" - all on the same machine.

Updated April 28th, 2006 with corrected Doom 3 results for Windows XPīy now you all know about "Boot Camp" on Intel Macs which enables you to create a separate partition for Windows XP, install it, and boot it up. Updated April 13th, 2006, with both DirectX and OpenGL results for UT2004
