Bet Angel doesnt run on the Leopard OS so you have to purchase Parallels Desktop or a similiar program to enable you to run windows on your Mac.

Its not cheap either, subscription to Parallels cost me about $60 and then on top of that you have to shell out for Windows (not sure how much that is at the moment). Also you should bear in mind that running both Leopard and Windows on your Mac takes up a lot of memory. I was using a Macbook Pro with 4gb and even when windows wasn't running it took up 2gb! Plus BA can lag ever so slightly when using Parallels.

My advice to you would be to do what I did...
I bought a low end Dell PC with 4gb and Intel Core 2 quad processor with extra monitor for Euro1200. I use it solely for trading and as such it isn't cluttered up with anything else. And the best thing is my Macbook is running as good as new.

Good luck

Major drawback with boot-camp is that you can't run Leopard or Mac applications at the same time you're running Windows. And even with boot-camp you'll still have to purchase a copy of windows :o
