Congrats! Don't know what it's like installing WinDoze on an Intel based Mac  (and probably never will) - but kudos!  If you end up using OSX, you'll be rewarded with a very nice, neat, clean and stable computing experience that will leave you wondering why in the F!@# it took you so long to convert  :)


Yep..I use the E-Fix Bios adapter on a Gigabye quad core.
REally the best of both worlds. The efix allows installation of OSX and Windows on separate drives. A kick ass solution especially with a HDMI capture card AND the PC Video Toaster in the machine.

Money had a lot to do with it :)

@ Crom00

New BIOS adapter? How does that differ from / why not use BootCamp?
Toaster in a MacPro... sounds like a dual-booting productivity powerhouse!


Flexibility. I use cheap pc hardware, motherobard with mulitple slots, I can swap pout my CPU, GFX card, etc. Esata drives Space for lots more drives..
no LEGACY PCI slots in a MacPro

On a MacPro it's not that easy to do what I can with my setup.

Bootcamp requires a MAC, and we all know the desktops are expensive.

The Lenovo S10E series is well supported and comes with a good sized hard drive. I installed some old Mac Mini ram and I now have 2.5 GB ram and the stock 160GB hd.

This particular setup runs win7 and MacOS Leopard quite well considering its speed.
Beats taking a $2000 MacBookPro into harms way.

Just to make this Amiga related, Mac OSX on the Intel platform is EXACTLY where and what the Amiga coulda, shoulda done starting in 2000.  Imagine where we'd be now if they had..

Don't remind me Wayne. I was so happy with Amithlon. Imagine if that was developed then turned into OS4/ OS5.
