Putting windows on a mac?

[Emperor Claudius Rome]

I got my Uncles old Mac recently, and I want to use it to play PC games after I get it updated in a few days. I know it's possibel to put Windows on a mac, but from what I have read you need certain software to do so. Anybody who has put Windows on here, was there any freed software that allowed you to do it?

If you're just running Windows on it, you might want to see how much you could sell it for, and then use that money towards a new PC.

Here's Apple's guide to using Boot Camp. Another alternative you could try is Wine.

I don't want to sell it, because I'm gonna use OSX for non-gaming purposes.

If you're willing to pay, VMWare Fusion and Parallels desktop allow you to run both OSs side by side, which could be a big help if you plan to use both and don't want to reboot every time you switch. Sun used to have a free virtual machine program as well, but I've never looked into it and I don't know if it still exists after Oracle bought them out.

You have a choice between Bootcamp which comes pre-installed in the utilities section of your mac, or you can use another program like parellels. I would just make some thorough searches through google. The only thing is though that there is nothing free, you will need at the least a version of windows for bootcamp.

Good Luck
