Boot Camp is now 64-bit enabled!

[Macintosh Sauce]

I downloaded the 64-bit Boot Camp installer files for the newer Mac Pro, and installed them on my older Mac Pro after installing Vista Ultimate (64-bit). Absolutely impressive!

Take a look at the RAM... Windows Vista can now address ALL 16 GB of RAM in my older quad core Mac Pro! What a difference it makes too!

Unfortunately the new bootcamp only supposedly supports 64-bit vista on the mac pro. The iMac will need different drivers as it's a different processor.

Someone that bought the new Mac Pro put them on BitTorrent. Can't wait for the official update of Boot Camp with 10.5.2... Note that with the new version of Boot Camp coming, there are 32-bit and 64-bit drivers in the folder. Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) is running quite nicely I might add.

Right now, Steam is updating so I can play Day of Defeat: Source with all this RAM available. I am going to keep the 32-bit version of Vista Ultimate (that was on my Mac Pro) for when I get a new MacBook - very soon. I did not register it within 30 days, so I will be OK to reinstall it on a MacBook.

This is old news, but OP I'm happy you got it working.

The drivers are no longer in a package inside bootcamp.They are on the install disk.

Does the new Mac Pro's have 64-bit enabled out of the box?

If you have a new Mac Pro and install Vista 32-Bit the Mac Pro install disk will put 32-bit drivers on Vista.

If you install 64-Bit Vista the install disk will put 64-Bit drivers on it.

Why do you only get 5.8 on the Vista spec jobby? Hard disk?
