  1. You could upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) which includes Bootcamp software:

    Wikipedia.org on Bootcamp:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_(...

    I believe that Bootcamp boots into only one operating system (OS) at-a-time (which is sometimes better than running two OSs at the same time).

    There is software called Parallels, which allows you to run both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows at the same time, but I'm a believer in only runing one OS at the same time on the same computer.

    Wikipedia.org on Parallels:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallels_D...

    Be aware that when you use either Bootcamp or Parallels that you need -- not only Bootcamp or Parallels -- but you also need a version of Microsoft Windows.

    Also be aware of the increased RAM system requirements for running the newer version of Mac OS X (10.5.x instead of 10.4.x), and to run Parallels and run both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows at the same time will take even more additional RAM.


  2. 1. Upgrade to Leopard

    2. Buy a copy of Windows.

    3. Use Boot Camp (my recommendation), Parallels, or some other virturlazation or dual boot software.

    Note: Boot Camp allows you to run either operating system perfectly, but not simultaneously.

    Parallels opens Microsoft Windows in a window inside Mac OS X, so you can run programs in both at the same time.
