I have been useing Parallels and I'm impressed. I can't speak for bootcamp though so i suppose you should have a look at it just to make sure all your bases are covered.
One more thing. If you can, Max out the ram. It really is the best way to go.

Ok, I'm beginning to understand the difference between Boot Camp and Parallels now

In addition, I have found Microsoft Office 2004 Student & Teacher Edition For Mac from
Shop.com for $137.93. Pretty darn good price for all the office programs.
I may not need windows at all I'm guessing now.
I plan on basically using this computer primarily for internet access, e-mail, music storage along with itunes, and some basic graphics work.
I will assume that MacBooks included mail program will easily accept POP3 mail accounts like I do with Outlook on my desktop PC right now?
Can I have the same POP3 account running on both by desktop and my MacBook at the same time?
Since I won't be using any graphics intensive programs, I would think that 1GB of memory should be enough. Do I really need 2GB?
In addition, I think I will wait for Leopard, it's not that far off at this point.
Thanks for all the info. thus far!
