Ok so if I had a copy of xp 64 bit would that run better usind vdj, because i keep getting blips in the music when the CPU usage goes up, I have never had the problem on any other laptopk
32 Bit XP is fine. High CPU usage can be caused by using a skin for VDJ thats not the correct resolution. Believe me it can make a huge difference
Try a difference skin that has the same native resolution to your screen, your mac should run vdj under bootcamp without any issues.
Also disable the battery monitor in the device managerand also wireless networking.
There is a whole list of things to tweak XP,vista etc on the VDJ forum for audio use.

excellent mate, cpu usage hardly gets into the green until loading a track, one glitch i have now is im using an audio 2 dj souncard which has been working fine on my sony viao with windows 7, but music keeps cutting out somtimes even stopping completley?, i know its the soundcard because i dont have anyproblems when running through the headphone jack straight to mixer
