Hi!

Just wondering...maybe weird.
I installed Windows 7 on a Mac Pro 09 and now Iīm not sure if I really need the Boot Camp 3 drivers or not. Itīs just installed for games and 3D Software. I donīt have an USB iSight, obviously, and donīt need the media function keys of the keyboard nor I use the Mighty Mouse. Also I donīt need iDisk access HFS+ access or Bonjour and what so ever. I mostly run OSX anyway.

So, would it work if I just install the Chipset drivers, Audio, Ethernet and graphics card drivers if I find them?
Or do the Boot Camp drivers have special stuff which I absolutely need?

Thanks!

I'd install the drivers for ethernet, sound etc, but always use the graphics card vendors drivers as they are light years ahead of Apples.

OK, thanks! I noticed Windows did recognize most hardware directly tho, only had to install the Realtek HD Audio driver and need to find correct SATA driver.
