Thinking here that this one will deserved own thread..
Anyone who has question..is it possible to run Cym with Mac..then yes
You have to need a boot camp. You dont touch any mac folders..programs.
And for other pessimist..(this was also me..who didnt want a mac because I cant run Cym...) mac is realy fast op system for that game (my bookpro ..beats Quadro 4g ram. machine).
If someone need a help then I am happy to help.
Damn i am glad.

Yeaah boot camp makes separated small disc for windows and cycling game..I even dont let that windows partition to net (but if you like multiplayer..go ahead). Its easy to jump between two different os.
Most amazing thing was..how fast and smoothly mac managed to run this game.
Another great thing..windows got my mac drivers from os x install disc..and that was it.

I did 20g disk for windows and game..
If you have x..then you already have a boot camp..
Just need wind xp..with service pack 2..and lot of paper to print out 30 page manual. I recommend that..after having that you just cant loose |

I have installed Windows XP on Boot Camp, and installed PCM, updated and installed PCMDaily 2009 DB, but when I try to start the game I get an error:
"Failed to initialize the 3D engine. Please make sure that your video and motherboard drivers are up to date."
What can I do about this? :S

This mac X should give you all drivers you need.
Also good reading is boot camp installation & setup guide..you get that when you open a boot camp..do not print it is 25 pages. Good tips and hints there..buttons etc..etc.
