Hi all,

I decided to put Windows XP Pro (32-bit) onto my Mac Pro. The interface is quite jittery, and Explorer keeps freezing (unfreezes after 20 seconds or so).
CPU-Z shows the correct CPU's, though recognises only 1910MB of the 6GB of RAM (I know it's 32-bit, but I thought this should be more like 3.5GB).

The install is clean apart from a Sims 2 install and all the updates up to SP3 (though not including SP3).

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Ben

EDITED to add:
I've installed all the Boot Camp drivers and still no joy...

Could be a multitude of things.

Is there a CDROM drive unplugged power-wise in the mac? That sometimes makes XP go barmy. Dodgy stick of RAM? Does it do it in OSX?

It's more like how long is a piece of string with things like this. Have you got another version of XP to try? If not, PM me and i'll have a scrat in my OS box. I promise it'll be geniune.

Everything is fine on the OS X side, and indeed when I tried Win 7 Pro it was OK...
I'll do a hardware test on the Mac side when I get home.

I'm going to download a copy of Win XP Pro 64-bit (from my student MSDN subscription), see if that helps....

What spec mac pro is it? Do you have multiple video cards?

Have you installed the gfx drivers?

As far as I can tell, the boot camp installer installed some NVidia stuff. Only have one graphics card, but it's dual head...
