When I do a partition again I'm trying to get XP for it, but if that doesn't pan out it's good to know Vista is better nowadays. Thanks for all the help - Couldn't you theoretically "trick" bootcamp for tiger into working by just, rolling the clock on the Mac back? I had to do that once already (it was right after the beta ended) to remove my first partition when it got - Didn't know Leopards bootcamp was pretty much the same as Leopards, thanks for the FYI. A bit pricey, but it's the best out there. I actually reviewed it a little while back.

I still wouldn't use it for gaming, but that's only because I don't have power to burn.įinally, if you're looking for a stand that'll help your MacBook Pro look (and run) cooler, check out the mStand. On the other hand, Vista is much improved. There is no real power management functionality, which is why your machine runs hot, and in the case of my MBP, gets about an hour and a half on a fully charged battery. Apple hasn't done a whole lot (read: anything) to provide more than the most basic support for its machines in Windows.

There's been an update since then, but it concentrated on bug-fixes.

The simplest solution would be something like a small block put underneath the hinge, more sophisticated would be a dedicated stand for laptops with cooling fans.Īctually, 95% of the original Leopard BootCamp drivers were the same as the "beta" ones. However, to keep your MBP cool (or at least cooler) I recommend some kind of stand for it, so that the lower surface is air-cooled. That it ran even hotter under Vista is – as far as I know – a result of the not very optimal energy management in Apple's BootCamp drivers back then. The Intel CPUs are also usable as hotplates in case of emergency. That your MBP runs hot is – unfortunately – normal.

That your MBP runs hot is – unfortunately – normal. The newer BootCamp drivers have improved support for Vista, so you could expect it to work better. Leopard is the only way to get BootCamp nowadays. More precisely, existing BootCamp partitions still work, but you can neither create new ones nor change existing ones. The BootCamp beta version for Tiger was time-limited and stopped working when Leopard was released. To answer (at least some of) your questions: BootCamp for Tiger is not available anymore, nor would it work if anyone of us would still have it around.
Oh forgot to mention, the MBP runs hot, and as I recall it ran even hotter in Vista, any advice for counteracting the heat? laptop pad, SMC Fan control doesn't do much in OSX. Lengthy for the first post I know, but I appreciate any help you guys can offer.
#MACBOOK G4 BOOTCAMP PORTABLE#
Also, the HDD space on the mac is getting scarce, I know I need 30 GB to partition, is it possible to put games (for windows) on a portable HDD, or do I need to clear up some space on the mac drive and make a bigger (50-60 GB) partition.Īlso wonder what kind of graphic powerhouse games could I run on my MBP (Age of Conan comes to mind)
#MACBOOK G4 BOOTCAMP UPGRADE#
I was just wondering are the newer more stable versions of BootCamp available for OSX Tiger, or do I have to upgrade to Leopard to get those? and does Vista run better with the newest drivers? It's come down to either me getting doing bootcamp again, or buying a seperate refurbed Emachine desktop for gaming. I tried BootCamp when it was in beta with a friends copy of Windows Vista, and it ran fine at first, but picked up some quirks along the way, and eventually I removed it because I need my Mac to stay in working order. It's great for what I do (Maya 8.5, Lightwave 9.3 and Photoshop CS3). I got a MacBook Pro for college a year ago (was lumped in with tuition). Hey everyone, just joined these forums after looking around, and I think this is the right forum for this question.
