Hi, I just bought a new macbook pro and i have the hard drive partitioned for both os X lion and windows 7 64 bit. I was wondering if there is a performance impact running windows 7 vs mac and which would be faster and most compatable.
I mainly use the mac partition so it would be convenient for me to have it on mac instead of pc (booting takes some time).

Specs:
Intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz
2gb 1067 ddr3
9400m gt 256mb

Sorry to hear that. Big Grin

Seriously though, Windows 7 64-bit if you want to have better speed and less issues.

Asus Laptop: K53TA
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit - SP1
CPU: AMD Llano A6-3400M, Quad-Core, 1.4GHz-2.6GHz (Overclocked)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD6650M, 1GB GDDR3 (Catalyst 13.1)

I still haven't seen you mention any pros for owning a macbook. Portability is something that all laptops have.

Win 7 will run dolphin faster and will have less issues, just like SS said.

Hm, how much did this macbook cost you actually ?

But with that hardware, you won't get much speed....
(Yes, even with Windows7 64-Bit, which is your best choice)
Don't expect any games to run properly
