jeffwalker9999 i was thinking of something else

If its running leopard, and i think this also works for tiger (can't remember)

Go to system preferences, network, click the network card, then click advanced, and then click "wins" at the top.

If thats not there and you can't find it in the network section, ill look around for were it is in tiger.

OK ..so if i already own 2 laptops 1 is a Alienware 5150 .. i believe ? (i haven't seen it in a while) and it is a pretty kick ass  laptop  it has a T7600 pross and running windows xp ..will it run the mac OS with NP ? and i have a Toshiba x205-9359 which is a OK laptop and it has a T7300 which sucks balls ) pross will it run the mac OS ? and what about the hardware?
i was thinking about trying to sell them and buy a Mac ..so i don't know if it is better to run mac OS on one of these or just buy the mac pro since it was designed by mac to run mac




Hey Tommie nope I'm still here ...8 more months to go ...

you know Iraq is like pirated software and movie haven ...lol....and i can  buy just about anything from $2-$3 per disk and a lot of the disk have about 25-50 diff programs on them ...so I'm sure the new mac will be out in a few weeks lol NOT THAT I BUY ANY OF THESE DISK.... angel

so what would be the best road the go down a new mac or stay with what i have and install mac as a dual boot?

You can't run Mac OS X on a windows notebook. You have to buy a mac to run OSX

Depends on how much you want to spend. A macbook pro is real nice. the Apple store is the best place to get it but other sites sell them too, like newegg.

If you purchase it at newegg you have the advantage of no tax. apple store your going to have tax
