Just to let you know im running the home premium vista 64bit version on my 17" core 2 duo macbook pro :d

so far it seems very very nice, even though i do hate windows. so far the only things NOT working are isight, sound and wireless internet. Everything else is a go, i will post a screenshot in 30 mins. thanks
 
hi sure what program do you want benchmarks with ( im new to windows ) so point me to the program(s) heh 🙂

very very easy, use bootcamp make the partition and reboot as normal and install. Although i found with my 64bit disc it wouldn't let me startup into the x64 installation only the x86 one BUT a couple of the steps in it let me select x86 or x64 installations so i chose x64 home premium and it installed perfectly from then on 🙂

Has drivers for the graphic chipset already installed and ethernet device.
 
when vista gets released, will they have two different versions for 32bit or 64bit? i think leopard will only have one that does both just like universal apps work for ppc and intel in one download.

Thanks for the picture Mobility151990. 🙂


Vista looks better than XPee, but still not as refined as Mac OS X in my opinion. 😎

Hi, I have a question for you.
Did i understand you correctly, that you was able to make WiFi working on macbook?
I have exactly the same 2 problems. No sound and no WiFi.
My macbook pro 2.16 runs Vista without any delays, but no sound and WiFi kills everything...
Any help is appreciated 🙂
thank you.
