A Question about Windows games with boot camp and system requirements

I don't plan to play many games on my Mac, but after seeing what can be done with it, I've been entertaining the idea of picking up a Windows game or 2 to play in Boot Camp (considering picking up a XP PRO with SP2 for this).
My question is about the listed systed system requirements and how they might apply to my Mac Pro. I have a dual 2.26.
As a specific example, I was looking at the game Fallout 3. The box lists a 2.4ghz processor required but I've read on this forum about people running it great with less on their Mac.
So I was wondering what I would need to consider when looking at those requirements or if games in that range do indeed run well...

Thanks Kap, you're always helpful.
That's exactly what I was wondering. How the requirement on the box applied to having an 8 core at a lower clock speed.
I was looking at XP home at amazon and newegg, but haven't been able to tell if they are 64 or 32 (unless that means just install that version from the disc).
It's nothing pressing, just something I was entertaining for now.

Newbie Questions About Installing Windows with Boot Camp

The only reason I want to use Windows is to be able to download games from the internet that are not made for Mac only for PC and I have a few questions:
1. Doing all this installation will anything made for PC work?
2. I only have Windows XP will that work? And then do all the SP updates after it's installed?
3. If I have to use Windows XP SP2 is this one a good one to buy?

4. After everything is installed do I have to use an anti-virus?
I want to thank you for your help as you can see I really am a newbie.

Hi Karen and welcome to Discussions,
The only reason I want to use Windows is to be able to download games from the internet that are not made for Mac only for PC and I have a few questions:
1. Doing all this installation will anything made for PC work?
Nearly anything. There are some Windows programs using hardware dongles that don't run.
2. I only have Windows XP will that work? And then do all the SP updates after it's installed?
You need a Windows XP CD with at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) incorporated.
3. If I have to use Windows XP SP2 is this one a good one to buy?
http://www.cdsfu.com/index.php?categoryID=87
another user round here had already asked about that website.
Three things about this offer are, at least to me, very suspicious:
"Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition With SP2, Full Version on CDR"
Microsoft never has used CD-R disc (CD-Recordable) for Windows
"software that does NOT include any COA label or a sticker from the manufacturer"
There always has to be a sticker, that one puts on the computer on which the Windows license is installed and a COA label as well.
"VOLUME LICENSE INCLUDED"
A volume license, from my understanding, was only sold to companys, who install Windows on a larger scale (hundreds of computers) and for that purpose are given only one license-key for all installations.
Usually this is known as a'corporate license'.
All in all, I would personally stay away from this offer. It simply doesn't sound legal to me.
4. After everything is installed do I have to use an anti-virus?
When running Windows a decent Anti-Virus software is a must.
I want to thank you for your help as you can see I really am a newbie.
You're welcome anytime. Hope it helps.

Is SSD partitioning with boot camp stable and recommended?

Is SSD partitioning with boot camp stable and recommended?

The OS as already stated does not know the difference. The SSD will perform as it does with any operating system. SSDs can be partitioned as can HDDs.
My Bootcamp partition is running exactly like it did on my HDD only faster. I have not experienced any issues with the Bootcamp partition or the SSD.

Question mark (?) where My Boot Camp Applications used to be

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and therefore needed to upgrade my Parallels to version 7. However on the upgrade to Mountain Lion, the My Boot Applications Folder became a question mark (?) and I was prompted to upgrade to Parallels 7 which I have done.
I have since read that boot Camp 4.0 (which I presume is included with Mountain Lion) does not support Windows XP which I run from both Boot Camp and Parallels. I can boot OK from both ways, but have the annoying question mark in the dock.
Does anybody have any idea's?
Many thanks
Andrew

This is a function of Parallels not Bootcamp.
Drag the broken alias out of the dock and release it in a puff of virtual smoke.
Next tme you start Parallels do not launch your VM but right click on it in the VM window panel and select configure from the pop out window panel.
Click on the options button and Applications
Make sure the share windows applications with Mac and show Windows folder in dock are ticked .
Parallels will then recreate folder alias.
As for Bootcamp 4 not supporting XP this is correct, however if you created your Bootcamp partition prior to Lion/Mountain Lion you may still have Bootcamp 3.6 drivers with an XP install i know i do.

Wanting to know about gaming performance on boot camp

Hello I have an Intel imac 20” with 2 GHz core 2 duo processer 2 GB of ram and ATI Radeon HD 2400 128 MB.
And I will be getting leopard here soon but I basically want it for boot camp so I can play games on my Mac. I have played some games on my Mac but they run very poorly I downloaded unreal tournament 2003 and I couldn’t even run it, the frame rate was terrible it was the same for DOOM 3 it was extremely choppy even on low settings. I am wanting to play games like Command & Conquer 3 which I would just buy the one for Mac computers but after running the games I listed above I don’t think it will work at all is it my hardware or would I be able to run new pc games if I had windows through boot camp?
Any help would be greatly appreciative thanks.

Please note for a start that I am a beginner with Macs - only had my 24"iMac for 3 months, never paid much attention to Macs before. (But been playing with PCs and earlier things since they came out, spent 50 years or so with computing software and hardware). I got an iMac for reasons similar to yours, it seems - wanted the stability of the Mac platform (etc etc), but wanted to play 'real' games.
I set up a 250GB NTFS partition with Boot Camp (& iPartition), installed XP Pro SP2. Been loading and testing 19 assorted games that I like - mostly RPG/FPS, old and new. Of these 3 have NOT worked at all so far, 4 have worked with a bit of fiddling, the rest worked right off. Recent ones such as Guild Wars, The Witcher, Dark Messiah, Dungeon Siege 2, Hellgate London, Assassins Creed, Age of Conan:Hyborian Adventures & Overlord work just fine. Great graphics, decent frame rates, excellent sound. The only 'recent' game that is giving me problems is Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - but that gives everyone problems on PCs too! Especially as its useless as an RPG out of the box, needs extensive mods added that obviously cause problems. Some older games refuse to work - Might & Magic 7, Dungeon Keeper 2, are examples. I have yet to try DOSBox with the older games. The games requiring a bit of fiddling usually needed running in a 'compatibility mode', Win95 or Win98/Me.
I did have a very poor wireless data rate initially, using Airport (to my access point on the router). Seems a common complaint on these forums. I fixed it (eventually) by turning off Airport, using Ethernet to the router.
We seem not to play the same games - but if you have specific questions, drop me a line and I shall try to help. I am very happy myself with the iMac as a gaming platform. Room for improvements from Apple? - better keyboard mapping for some of the PC games; better audio level control; fewer wireless problems.

Question about SSD space? And BootCamp?

Ok, so I installed BootCamp a while ago because I wanted to have a Windows partition and to play games and such on my MacBook Air (2012). The game I wanted to play is relatively large; about 23 GB + or - a few gigs, and I knew that I should include some extra space in there for updates and other stuff. So, I put about 30GB on the partition. When I went on it, there was only like 10GB free!!! So, I kept increasing and increasing until now, I have a like 48.5 GB partition to hold a 23 GB game with only 7.3 GB free. So:
1) Where did all of the rest of the storage space go?!
2) I noticed I think 10 GB or so is in the "Windows" folder. Can I compress this? Will it damage/mess up the Windows Partition? I want to free up some space, but I don't want to break anything.
3) Can I REMOVE a few gigs from the Windows partition, or do I have to start over? If I start over, will I have to redownload my game and all that?
Section 2
I have a 128 GB SSD MacBook Air. I thought that it would be plenty of room. However, I just got a new iPhone, and within a month and a half, I have taken over 2,100 pictures, which takes up numerous GB. So, if I want to back up my iPhone and iPod and all that, I will need a lot of space on my computer. However, I have a Windows partition taking up about 48.5 GB as I remember, so that's about 40% of the entire amount of space on my computer. So, I had a 72 GB portion or so on my Mac side. I thought that this would be enough, but I somehow only have like 28 GB left. If I keep taking pictures, want to back up things, get apps, etc., I would like to free up/add space. So:
1) I know this sounds stupid (I thought I was good with computers and Apple technology, but I just wanted to make sure) ... but is there any way to permanantly add extra SSD space onto my Mac? Because there's the option to upgrade your Mac to like 256 GB which would be awesome, but as far as I know, this is only online, with the more expensive version of the 13" MacBook Air, and I don't know if you can do this with the computer already bought and installed and all that. So, is there any way to add space? Like not free up space, but ADD it?
2) How does the whole Time Machine/ Pass port thing work? If I transferred 10 GB of stuff to Passport or whatever, (1st of all, is it a USB?) if I plugged it in to my computer, could I easily transfer stuff back and forth? Would it take a while?
i) If I had a game on my computer, happened to have Passport or something, and transferred the files to Passport... (this will be a long question) once I plug in the Passport, could I launch the game? Or would I have to transfer the files back to the desktop...
a) Basically, what I'm getting at is... If I had a game's files on Passport / Time Machine / whatever it is called, if I had it plugged in to my computer, would I have to transfer files to the computer to launch/play a game, or could I just play it by putting in thing..
3) If there is a way to increase the space to 256 GB or so, how much would this cost? How long would it take?
I am so sorry about all of my confusing questions, but I just want to ask a bunch at once so I can set things straight in my mind xD
Please help! Thanks so much!

OWC have SSD upgrades for an Air and you need more space, look here:

Question about SSD for T61 with Linux.

Hi, I am considering purchasing a T61 with SUSE linux installed. I had a question regarding the customization process for this laptop. The option for adding the 64GB SSD for this laptop is not available when configuring the custom options, but it is available when customizing the Windows version. Will Lenovo give me the option of having the SSD with the Linux configuration?
Thanks for any help in advance.

[SOLVED] Question About SSD Alignment (Do I Have to Reinstall?)

I purchased a Crucial M4 (256GB) and I put a lot of work into this install, it's set up really nice. But I came across the Arch Wiki and SSD alignment. I don't really understand what the article says, but I did add the noatime and discard flags as it suggested. What I don't understand in particular is if I have to wipe and reinstall Arch in order to use gdisk to align my partitions. I'd rather not reinstall if I don't have to.

Question about SSD speed rMBP 13" 2015

I think I read somewhere that the 128GB SSD included with the base configuration of the recently refreshed 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display is slower (in terms of read/write speed) than the other, higher capacity drives that are configurable. Could this possibly be true?

More chips = more paths to read and write from simultaneously, big SSD's are made up of a larger number of smaller chips.

Question about SSD and OS X applications installer

Well I decided to make use of an SSD which is kind of nice.. except.. there are many applications which won't install onto my HDD.. like Microsoft Office. The installer will only let it install onto my SSD.. which isn't going to work. There's not enough room for every app on my SSD. What I'd like to know is what is up with this.. and can I terminalize something or anything to get around this limitation?

Yes, but you first need to erase the drive and be sure it's partitioned properly:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Now clone:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the second drive.
Source means the internal startup drive.

A question about string.trim()

I got a fragment of code as follows:
String s = "abcd ";
boolean a = (s.trim()=="abcd");
boolean b = (s =="abcd ");
Why a is false, b is true?

The reason why the below code has true assigned to be is quite easy to explain:
String s = "abcd";
String y = "abcd";
boolean b = (s == y);
...The String class has a "Pool" of strings. When you use String literals; the compiler automatically checks if it is in the String pool already and if it exists; a reference to that String is returned; if not a new entry in the pool is added and then you get a reference to that. This is only true for Stirng literals and String created using the intern() method.
If you compile this code you will see that the strings are not equal:
public static void main(String args[])
String s = "abcd";
String y = args[0];
boolean b = (s == y);
System.out.println(b);
}This is because the "abcd" is in the String pool when your program starts; but because the value "abcd" passed in (is not created in the pool automaticlaly). Therefor they are two different String objects.
This code block shows that you can add Strings to the pool. The intern() method checks to see if the String is in the pool already and if it is it will return you a reference to it; if not it will create one and then return it.
public static void main(String args[])
String s = "abcd ";
String y = args[0].intern();
boolean b = (s == y);
System.out.println(b);

Portege R500 - Question about SSD Connector

Hello,
Can somebody tell me what connector is on the SSD's of a R500?
It is NOT a standard ZIF connector...
I have a broken r500 laptop and would like to extract the data from it that is still on there.
Is there any convertor I can buy?
Thank you

As far as I know SSDs have the same connector as all other SATA HDDs used in notebooks.
You can buy external HDD case for SATA HDDs and connect your HDD to some other notebook as external one. So you will have access to your data.

Win7 boot camp to another ssd ..

hi and thanks for help !
i changed my intel ssd osX with boot camp/win7 to another ssd ...
before i cloned via superduper the mac partition, all went best !
now my question: can i clone from the now extern intel ssd to the new ssd (inside mbp) via usb and winclone ?
beside this, i have a security copy win7 from the intel ssd, how could i install this on the ssd if winclone does'nt work ?
(i don't want to change the ssd's again)

WinClone is an OS X program with its own proprietary image format.
It is not like SuperDuper disk to disk. For that you would need 3rd party and running Windows.

Magic Mouse not working in Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Mac Pro 64 bit with Mavericks.
On an internal SSD I installed Boot Camp 5.1.5621 and Windows 8.1.
Everything is working fine, except for the Bluetooth mouse, which is not recognized.
If I try to add the Bluetooth mouse via Settings/Change PC settings/PC and devices/Add a device, the system can't see it.
The Bluetooth icon is not visible in Device Manager:
I remember that with Windows 8 for a while I had the same problem, till it was solved after installing a generic Bluetooth driver, but now I don't remember where I found it and which it was.
I have been looking for that piece of software for months, I've tried with many, but with no result.
I've been googling any kind of article, doing many trials, with no result, and I'm getting crazy.
The Apple support directs me toward Microsoft support, while Microsoft support directs me toward Apple support.
Maybe that with 8.1 there are no chances?
Or there is a workaround?
Can someone help?
Many thanks in advance!

In the $WinPEDriver$ folder I can see the same files I see in yours: I'm enclosing a picture.
I'm enclosing also the picture of the About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Bluetooth window, describing the hardware.
Thanks!
