    Loading BootCamp is no problem and I haven't seen any problems so far on my 15 MBP. I would recommend installing the software updates, then the firmware, then BootCamp before you do anything else. The repartitioning is extremely quick when I did it this way. I selected 20GB on my 100GB drive but that's starting to feel like it's too much. I also formated it as FAT32 so I could transfer/edit stuff over.

    This may be out of my league, but I don't think FAT32 is a good idea for a Mac startup disk, at least that's what I've heard...

    You can format the windows partition as a different disk format? Huh.

    How does photoshop work on it? Is it super slow? If you could process some raw files and post some processing times that would be awesome. thumb.gif

    Congratulations. I have been looking at one myself, but I am going to try to wait for PS to catch up or maybe a 19" MBP. deal.giflol3.gif

    No photoshop on here for me. Bootcamp requires an installation disk with Windows SP2 on it and I didn't have that and I didn't have a way to get that quickly when I found out. So no Boot Camp, Windows, or Photoshop on here right now. Maybe someday.

    Though, I hear rumors that Adobe may be releasing CS3 by December. So maybe I won't put Boot Camp on here at all ne_nau.gif
