    Can't. Thats what you get for supporting a highly over priced computer system.

    Yes it will. Just dual boot OS X and Windows XP, although that's not the best situation either because then you just have to be in Windows all the time which would suck. You bought the mac to use it.

    @Mylesmadness: They are not overpriced, you get what you pay for, they just don't ship any computers with crappy specs.

    Bullshit. Compare a computer on apple with a computer on dell. The Studio XPS is $799, and its better than the $1,199 20-inch 2.66GHz IMac. You pay like 400 dollars for the os, when its free because its unix?

    + quality + no crapware on delivery + some really nice programs included with the OS + less malware.

    All depends on one's needs..

    Well, you can go to new egg and skip that shit, but I was just saving myself from the "well not all people can build computers" card. And you save even more.

    Edit:And you can get linux for lack of viruses.

    One note here, if you download VMWare or parallels, you'll be able to work on mac while running a virtual OS, Windows in this case. So you would be able to bot with SRL on the windows part, and meanwhile working on your mac OS.

    Dell's fine, i have a laptop + a Desktop.. how long since you tried one.


    EDIT:

    Why do people think dell sucks.. i got an laptop for about $1100 AUD with 4 years warrenty, they cover anything 2.8ghz 512 GFX card 500g Harddrive 4g ram.. almost as good as my desktop... My bro had one also and he dropped it, the screen broke.. Dell was there 3 days later and deplaced it for free

    He said he wanted free programs. So if you wanted to go that route then VirtualBox would work.
