NO boot camp. Supports Games and executable files. Many if you are facing issue to run the application again after installing: On the top, there is wine icon(if not run it from launchpad) then it has to drop down list select File manager at last open program files and you will find your installed folder, just run the application exe in it.

Won't slow your Mac down if you use Bootcamp, Windows installs on a partition on the slower 50% of the boot hard drive from the bottom up, however that shouldn't affect PC game performance all that much, only when loading data it might not be as fast as it can be. Likely hardly noticable really. OS X might feel a bit more snappy as it loads from the faster top 50% of the boot drive. If you have a SSD then it doesn't matter about the drive performance. Outside of that Windows will run on the CPU and dedicated video card just about the same, as since OS X and Windows are in seperate parittons they boot seperatly and thus have full control of the hardware. Now if you also install virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion that can copy the BootCamp partiton to use Windows in a window in OS X, and you run other programs in OS X and Windows/programs at the same time, that could slow down your Mac as it's running two operating systems and several programs at the same time.

Microsoft outlook for mac error code 17895. A powerful Mac, a recent 15' or better should have no problem, as long as there is 4GB of RAM or more. However for best 3D game performance it's better to direct boot into Bootcamp to let Window shave full hardware control and Direct X drives.

Virtual machine software uses the OS X OpenGl drivers, so any program in there will have to use Open GL drivers. The 13' is better off using Bootcamp and direct booting, it won't be good at games anyway as it doesn't have a more powerful dedicated video card.

Ideally Windows 3D games should be played on a dedicated Windows 3D gaming tower, this way the video cards can be exchanged for newer ones which on the Mac you can't. If you intent ot Windows #3D game, go that route and don't bother with gaming on a Mac as you can't upgrade the hardware. (or get video cards for the MacPro if sticks around, it hasn't been updated in ages). BTW I have a early 2011 17' on 10.6 and I can get 50 fps on Windows in VMFusion with some very light Open GL compatible 3D games like Nexiuz Classic and Cube 2 Sauerbraten.

In OS X the games get 200 fps. However for more recent games it's best to direct boot Windows or have a OSX compatible version of the game. Still there is the hardware problem, and you can only 3D game for so long before new games/versions require newer cards and thus for Mac's a whole new machine in a mere year or two. So that's why a tower is better, you can simply buy a new 3D card and stick it in and go. Also OS X gets updated annually and Apple changes so much each time, requiring new software or major updates especially games, Windows 7 will remain the same for the next 10 years on average. So gaming on a Mac isn't too ideal, just a optional non-competitive distraction mainly. I know this is a bit late 😊 but I personally use bootcamp to play games.

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with upgraded ram (16gb) and a 1tb hybrid hard drive. Don't expect to play any new games like Watch_Dogs (I've tried this personally) or GTAV at 60fps. Not gonna happen. I think it's mostly due to the GPU installed which is a Intel HD 4000. However, I have also tried SR3 at low settings and it has good fps.

If you stick to old less graphically demanding games and/or you can play at low fps (you are blessed if you can) go for it.
