![]() Turbo boost has a lot to do with this and with the MAC's EFI there is no BIOS to disable turbo boost. No doubt you've read about overheating Apple Mac gear, especially with the i5 - i7 chips. Windows 7 gives you far more control over hardware and software than OS X. IMHO OS X is going to morph into iOS and as such has a limited lifespan so I'm not wasting any more time on it. It is the simplest windows install I've ever done with the least hassle. What you do next is to use your Windows install and allocate the whole hard disk to Windows, install normally and at the end use the Bootcamp CD/DVD to install all the windows drivers. Once you have the Bootcamp stuff on CD/ DVD then there is no more need for OS X. Theoretically then the system when booting up (hold down Alt) should give you the option of starting up Mac OS or Windows on that external drive, besides the Mac OS on your internal drive. Run Boot Camp Assistant on that, so it does the partitioning and installation on the external drive. If you want to install only Windows 7 then you only need to have the OS X install DVD (up to Snow Leopard) or in Lion download and make the Windows Bootcamp install part. So install Mac OS on the external drive, and start that up. After you've installed windows then you use the Windows part of bootcamp to install all the windows drivers. ![]() You'll have to understand that there are two parts to bootcamp: one is partitioning the hdd/sdd in such a way that both OS X and Windows 7 can run on it (one needs GUID and the other MBR and they do not like to co-exist). ![]()
