Any experience with SW on a MAC with bootcamp?

Any experience with SW on a MAC with bootcamp?

(OP)
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone tried using SW on the new Mac Intels with Bootcamp.
In theory everything should work, but I was wondering if anyone actually did it.
Was there performance issues?
Thank you.

Wow, I've not heard of that yet.  Can you even run the approved graphics cards in the Macs?  If not, that would be a bit of a show-stopper right there.

Head on over to the comp.cad.solidworks usenet forum.

One of the contributers has done this already; right after the the MacTels came out and the boot software was released.  There are at least two threads on the subject.  

Do a search on Boot Camp

Well, the Power Mac G5 can get a NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500.

Thank you AnnaWood, I'll go take a look.

Cool--thanks, GoWithTheFlo.  Looks like the clones will have a little competetion--at least on some fronts.
