Bootcamp vs. normal windows pc

Jul 16, 2007 10:12PM PDT

Is runing windows on your mac through bootcamp almost exactly the same as running windows with a pc with the same system specifications? Lets say I wanted to play a game, would it run the same on bootcamp as any other computer (with the same graphics as a mac)?

Thank you

Bootcamp is not running in emulation or in a virtual machine so it does run at full tilt.
