Howdy, SM
I just got a brand new Mac since my beloved 7 1/2 year-old Mac finally turned toes up and died from a severely impacted hard drive. Hey, I’m just a home computer user without enough knowledge to know how to take its temperature. It was HEROIC to have lasted so long.
My new Mac is OSX 10.5.3, Intel Core 2 Duo, whatever that means.
Naturally, as with all computers, there’s no real manual, so my question is: Do I have Boot Camp? It does not show up on Spotlight. And if I don’t have it, would my new computer like it??

"Core 2" means a 64-bit CPU. "Core" without the "2" means a 32-bit CPU. More bits = faster.
"Duo" means two such cores (dual CPUs). "Solo" would mean one core. More cores = faster.
So you've got the best combo for speed.
Boot Camp Assistant is in the Utility Folder inside the Applications Folder on every Leopard install on an Intel Mac. Yours should have it. You will need a Windows full install disk (not an upgrade) to use it.
I can't say whether your computer would like it, but you might IF you needed to run some Windows application for which there is no Apple analogue.
