They said that since they didnt support Windows, they couldnt discuss it "I was at the Apple store in Pasadena last weekend.asked the guy if they had any computers set up to run Windows I was an architect and would be using AutoCad And don't try to kill the question simply because you don't have a useful response. If my question offends your delicate technological sensibilities, don't respond to it, TED.

And because I don't know a whole lot about Macs, especially now that they have new chips, I thought this might be a good place to ask, since I'm dealing with CAD software issue. This has never even been a consideration before because Macs have never supported ANY of the cad or 3d software that I use.

So, if I thought that a new Mac running windows would outperform a pc running windows, then I would consider buying one. So my question, then concerns speed - all the graphics people I know who use macs spout continuously about how much better and faster they are for those types of applications the G5, when it was released, was touted as the fastest personal computer on the planet. But, as I understand it, the new macs with intel chips can run Windows like it is native, not as an emulator. I would never buy a mac and try to run pc-native 3d modeling software with an emulator like Virtual PC. It is sort of a pain to have to reboot between OS's though and there is a great convenience factor to virtualization.Well, I can't speak for anybody else, but as my post stated I'm interested in performance. If they are going to do any 3-D or use lightscape / rendering programs, forget virtualization and just use Bootcamp. In all cases, MS Vista Business edition was used. I like Parellels and it works well for me, just that VMWare seems to be the superior performer. So it seems to me, that your two options are either Bootcamp or VMWare Fusion just using the virtual disk. I imagine, but did not try it, that using VMWare with just the virtual disk image would also be good. Finally, I reverted back to Parallels just using the virtual disk image, and worked with no problem. Next I tried VMWare with the Bootcamp partition, and also had problems.
It worked, but there were some major problems. Initially, I tried to use Parallels 3.0 with the Bootcamp partition. I recently have upgraded 3 machines to Leopard and have Parallels running on two of them. Bootcamp, in the end, might be the better choice. She might want to try VMWare, which is much more efficient, and allows the use of both cores of the machine. Parallels does have somewhat of a performance hit, enough so that it might be a pain to use a heavy duty program like AutoCAD. However, if she is a student, she likely needs to run AutoCAD for her course of study, and rightfully so, since it is the defacto standard in the AEC industry.

I have seen professional firms use Vectorworks, and seems to be a pretty decent Mac compatible CAD program. yes Parallels runs using virtualization technology, not emulation.

Is our only solution to buy another portable like a Dell or HP for one single Autocad application? Seems impossible.
PLEASE HELP! I don't want to spend more money on software like Leopard or Parallel or VM Fusion if in the end, Autocad will not run properly on the new Macbook 2.26 Gig. But other local Autocad resellers have said even with the above software Autocad will not authenticate on a Macbook. But we discovered that there is no Autocad software compatible for her Macbook! We have been told (by Apple reseller here ) that Bootcamp (in Leopard) or Parallel or VM Fusion software will allow her to run Autocad. My daughter came home 2 days ago saying she needs to run Autocad for school. We did not know that Autocad does not run on Macs. The choice of Apple was natural as my husband and I have been happy Apple users since 1980. On SeptemI purchased a Macbook 2.16 Gig (in Italy) for my daughter who attends the 1st year of Architecture in Parma. I live in Italy but I'm American so I'm posting on the USA site for help.
