Hi All...

As I assess my needs for the future I'm considering a Mac Book Pro (never thought I would say that again)....

Now that I can run Windows and OSX on the same box, and the Processors and GFX seem pretty peppy...

It seems to offer the best compromise in being able to access all the tools any client at my level would want.....

Anyone doing Windows Combustion Bootcamp Combo on a MacBook Pro? What's it like?

I've used it before for general Windows apps and some light photoshop and seemed perfectly fine.

Now if I could just boot it in Linux and run smoke/flane. ;^)

Wait I heard they are releasing Flame for iphone. ;^)
Can't wait to tackle my next 2k job on that tiny screen!

Cheers,

Alex

Hey Alex,

I've been using Combustion on a 8-core Mac Pro with Windows using BootCamp and its good. Superfast. Haven't used the setup on my Macbook Pro but I doubt it would be any different.

HI Alex,

I have run Combustion on Bootcamp and had no problems either. I have been very impressed with Bootcamp as I have even worked with Toxik on Bootcamp and had no problems.
One point about running Toxik with bootcamp the Mac system had a FX 4500 card, I point this out because the only “must have” to run the current version of Toxik is a Quadro FX card
