    Does having half the ram/processors when running a VM slow things down quite a bit? I tried in with a customers imac, and was less than impressed with performance.
    I'm wondering how to repartition the drive after bootcamp has been installed. Is there a way to do this, or do I have to redo windows?

    I was going to make the windows partition smaller. Is there a good partition program for OS X?

    use windows to make it happen. But you cant make the OSX partition larger without gparted.

    I dont know any other option

    There is a program called Camptune which makes this very easy... for $19.95. I've used it.
    Paragon Camptune for Mac® - Resize partitions in minutes

    As far as I know, gparted can only shrink a HFS+ partition, not grow it.

    Ok great, I will see what I can do. Another question from a mac noob. How do I tell OSX to change its default documents/music/picture directory?

    Use OSX disk utility to delete the BC partition & then use it to resize the OSX partition. Disk Uitily has the ability to recover all the space you used for BC back to OSX
