    so i have a black macbook and i was wondering if i could play like free downloaded 3d games on leopard or do i still have to do bootcamp and run it on windows xp?

    and how does windows xp work on a mac? like if i save that file when im in windows xp does it stay on the windows xp or does it go away or like go into the leopard?

    please and thank you!

    :)


    oh and i was planning on maybe playing roseonline, holic or some games along those lines since i could play them on my old comp

    It depends if they offer a Mac version. Should say in the system requirements. As for how Windows works on a Mac: Boot Camp basically divides your hard drive into 2 parts. One becomes dedicated to Windows. When you boot up you can chose to go to either Windows or OS X. Anything you do in Windows will be saved in your Windows hard drive partition. However you can access files in the partition through OS X. (You can only read them though, can't save to it through OS X).
