Hello, my dad passed me his old macbook pro.
These are the specs:



Im using it for gaming mostly, and its a good upgrade from my HP laptop.
However, I have mac OSX and I cant play some of the games is used to. I also feel like the fps could be higher if I used windows 8 instead of mac OSX..

So I read that there's this application on mac (bootcamp) that lets you install windows in a partition of your HD. It's not working for me, so I decided to get an extra HD for gaming with windows 8.

So these are my questions:

1- Can I have 2 different OS in the same computer and pick the one I want to use when starting?

2- Does SSD increase a LOT the fps when gaming? Should I spend the extra 150$ on SSD rater than just buying a 7200rpm HD?

3- IS 128gb SSD enough room for windows 8 and 5 or 6 games? (like COD ghost, lineage2, battlefield 4, etc..)

Thanks.
ps. sorry for my bad english.
