Windows on Mac

Anyone here have an intel mac? Specifically are you running windows on Mac?

Reason I ask is that I was wondering if the TCP optimizer thing can be utilised to up the router's stats?

TCP Optimizer doesn't change anything on the router, just how Windows talks to it - the settings would only work while you were running Windows.

Yup. An iMac 24" to be exact.

Under a beta of VMware Fusion, yes. I did have Boot Camp installed but found it a little annoying having to reboot to do something in Windows that wasn't related to gaming.

There is a TCP Optimizer for Macs anyway?
