well im a gamer, and there is now way for me to quit, i want to play all my games, which are pc based. a friend and owner of 5 or 6 ibooks told me about a cool thing called boot camp. i was eager, before learning of the need to have my own copy of windows xp. but i was in luck i had a copy of xp home edition with sp1. i have learned i need sp2, without buying a 200$ copy of xp with sp2 is there anyother option? can i download the sp or whats the deaL?

Read the tacked thread on "slipstreaming." The process uses free tools and produces workable XP installation discs that include the SP2 update. Some of the tools let you do other customizations as well. Enjoy.
