recently, i talked to an apple store manager. she said that bootcamp for 64 bit versions of windows had been released for the mac pro and the macbook pro. unfortunately i cant afford either of these. i was hoping to make do with a black macbook but i do NOT want to be stuck with just 2 GB of ram (i need all i can get cuz i do play games) - so i was wondering if it would be possible to install the bootcamp64.exe file on the MB Black. if this works it would be great but i have NO idea about this -- the drivers are for the mac pro and the macbook pro. in a recent thread under the mac pro section of this forum, i heard people say that it worked with their mac pros that were bought several years ago (the 64 bit support is only in the recent (jan 2008 and later) mac pros and macbook pros.) so i was wondering since a lot of the hardware is the same (just case and screen size that's really different) - same airport extreme, ect... will it work... i know this is really pushing the limit and i am a 100% TOTAL OSX noob and have no idea how this might/ might not work. so please dont rant at me... thanks for the help!:apple:
