hey everyone i am thinking of downloading bootcamp on my macbook pro when i get it because i want to play a certain game (americas army) and it apparently requires windows. so my question is, when bootcamp/windows is on my macbook pro, will the laptop be any slower? if so will it be significant? also, can i remove windows/bootcamp at any time? and if so will/can it affect the laptop like making it slower? thanks

Well, depending on your system, you might have BootCamp already!
If your running the latest Mac OSX (code name "Leopard") then the Utility can be found in your Applications/Utilities folder.
BootCamp doesn't slow your machine down!
BootCamp isn't Windows either.
Apple's BootCamp is a little utility that allows you to repartition the end of your Macinstosh HD (without effecting the MacOSX), making space for a Windows OS to live (or an guess OS). Re-launching the BootCamp Utility (after setting up windows) will allow you to delete the Windows partition, returning your HD tables to the original.
All the drivers required should be on your
System Install Disc, which came with your Mac - ofcourse, unless you have Windows installed, you probably won't find them.
Just remember to allow enough space for all your applications to live, effortlessly!
There is no-way to resize the partition without first deleting it and reinstalling everything.
