Chris,

If there are drivers available for the version of Windows you want to run
(hopefully Windows 7 64 Bit) then any hardware will run fine but obviously
not under OSX.

I've probably posted this before but "Bootcamp" isn't necessary to run
Windows on a Mac, in fact you don't even need to have an OSX system
installed at all. As far as Windows is concerned it's just another PC.

My advice is always install Windows on a separate HD.

I've been running Windows (& AE) on Mac Pros since 2006 without any problems
so if you have any other questions just fire away!

Cheers

Elliot
