64-bit Windows on an "old" Macbook not possible?

[wannabeartist]

Hi there,

I've been spending the day installing several versions of Windows 7 on my Macbook. Initially, the plan was to put the 64-bit version on it, but there was some trouble with Bootcamp drivers with that one. Further more, I read somewhere that it's not supported, only 32-bit is.


Is this true and if so, why? I was planning to use the Macbook as a render node, when not needed on other work and 64-bit Windows would be quite essential.

Thanks!

Depends on the MacBook. If its has a Core Duo then no, you can't. Anything else you can but the drivers have to be installed manually (not difficult).

Blasted!

Mine does have a Core Duo. Thanks for confirming that.
