Answer 1

I cant answer all of them but I will try to explain the terms that you have all messed up.

Q1, Never used the program Boot Camp, but Virtual PC isn't all that great for getting the most out of the OS, because it dosent integrate with your OS.

Q2, GHz is the Hertz that the RAM, CPU or Electrical device runs at. For an example a CPU runs at 3.0 GHz.

Q3, Macs are great for that, but you have to purchase Adobe Photoshop (CS2 recommended) on $500

Q4, Centrino Duo DOES NOT exist..... and intel Core Duo is a CPU that can be ran on a Windows, MAC, Linux, and Solaris, only you have to buy a MAC to use Mac os X Tiger (which isn't out yet). For the other OS's you just have to have any old computer to use.

Answer 2

Boot camp is better. It lets you run windows, while virtal pc is an emulator, i think. But if you want to run windows inside osx, get a paralel desktop program.

GHZ are the amount of power a processor has. If you do alot of video, photo, and audio editing, go for GHZ. If you run alot of programs at once, go for RAM.

I dont think tiger comes with one, i dont even have a mac, but i think photoshop is 400 dollars.

Yes
