Sounds good Jalisurr!
Can you tell us PC players a bit more about this Bootcamp?

I'm always amused by PC/Microsoft users when the conversation turns to Apple.
Apples use the same processors, graphics cards, sound cards, hard drives as a PC. The OS takes up a smaller footprint and is typically a few steps ahead of Microsoft on user interface techniques and database ordering. They eliminated the middle step in graphical system handling, aka the command prompt, before supposedly did in XP. And Microsoft releases regular Office updates/programs for Apple products.
Plus Bootcamp is a simple program that acts as a translation shell program that translates PC base code into Apple base code, bypassing most of Apple's OS. The only thing that restricts Apples compared to PC's as far as Windows OS's go is that you need double the required RAM. Because Bootcamp divides the RAM between Apple OS's and Microsoft OS's evenly.
So if you need a 2.0Ghz DualCore chip, with 10 GB HDD space and 1Gb RAM to run Windows 7 then to run it on an Apple you only need a 2.0Ghz DualCore chip, with 10GB HDD space and 2Gb RAM.
Half of what people do with their computers now a days requires a shell program that allows them to talk Java anyways. Seriously, check your system and you'll eventually find a big giant program from Sun Microsystems that's Java. All it is, is a shell program that allows your system to say the same thing that Sun Servers are saying. And that's all that Bootcamp is.

yeah, i hope they make a mac version, it would be great cos i have a mac and they rule.
they are heaps faster than pcs, they run stuff a lot better, they don't crash or freeze as much as pcs (if at all)
i dont see why they wouldn't make 1 for mac... and why haven't they made the other nfs games for mac? they did carbon.... if they don't make 1 then i will probably use boot camp and my old copy of windows xp or i could get parallels or vm ware fusion and run windows on that... it wont be too bad if they don't cos macs run windows better than pcs do.... but i still would want to see a mac version come out... honestly i don't see why people would buy a pc...
especially when they can get a mac that works 10 times better... trust me, you cant get a bad mac. as for pcs... they can get really bad... if u don't get the right 1 or if it is old and doesn't work properly... trust me, i know a bad pc, i have 1, it has crashed like a 100 times.... keep losing everything on it... that is why i switched to mac, so much easier and reliable. it would be awesome if they made it for mac... never again will i go back to a pc... don't get me wrong windows 7 is good, but doesn't match up to mac though... i wouldn't mind using windows to play the game cos it looks so awesome, but it would be good if they made it for mac... the chances are they wont though...
but again i hope they do...
