Hey guys, this is a pretty common topic. But I can only seem to find threads about the macbook 6.1 and 7.1, not the aluminum ones
so, does anyone know how to boot the aluminum macbooks with the 64 bit efi? I know everyone will say there is no difference, but there is, well in my case, I need it for one program: Virtualbox.
Virtual box on a 32 bit system will only allow me to alot 3.5 gigs of ram to a VM, and even then it crashes at 2.5G not even 3.5G (common problem after reading around). I want to alot 4 Gigs to windows, but virtualbox senses it's 32 bit and will only allow me to choose up to 3.5 gigs(not that that works) even though I have 8 gigs of ram. When you have the 64 bit kernel it allows you to allocate up to the full 8 gigs. I have 64 bit windows so the ram won't be an issue there, I just can't allocate that much.
So I can go with a solution to the 64 bit efi, or if someone knows how to trick virtualbox into letting me choose more memory that would be great too. thanks
