My success story of bootcamping on an old cruddy iMac

[Brian Smithers]

Today I bootcamped my computer to Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Holy stuff best descission ever. The only slight complication I had was because I used an iMac which needed new Audio Drivers, after installing the new graphics drivers I could run Blockland at 160FPS. I'm impressed too lol, I have a Nvidia GeForce 9400M with 256MB of Shared RAM.
I might start removing things from the mac OSX partition and start moving things over to the Windows side.

Is this easy to do/does it require an optical drive?

Yeah it's really easy. It does require an optical drive (how else does it read the OS :P)
Have your Windows Installation Disk at hand, go to /Applications/Utilities/ and open up Bootcamp Assistance. Give it around 40+ GB and let it run. Install Windows and when you log on right click, resolution, set to max and OK. Then everything will be nice.

Real Computers can boot from Ethernet using PXE or using USB or by using a specified partition.

I guess you were too stupid to understand
to loving install and OS onto a partition
you need to be able to read the loving OS
once it's on the partition it's there for good.
And it doesn't let you install from a USB drive or IMG/iSOfile
