OS X 10.6 + Boot Camp + 64-bit W7 Professional?

[Dreezy]

Would this work on my MBP? 2010, 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM.

I am not getting used to this (excuse my french) damned operating system, and I use a lot of stock trading software that only is Windows compatible.

Did you just call Mac OS "damned" operating system ?

It will work.

Many people already have that setup, so the answer is yes.

Could someone point me in the direction of a step-by-step guide of said procedure? I am a complete n00b when it comes to these things.

Heck, Im running windows 7 ultimate 64bit on my macbook, and its able to run SolidWorks premium 64bit without any trouble. I have a 2.4Ghz processor and only 2Gb RAM (soon to be 4). you will be fine. The install was very easy. If you have any trouble installing drivers you will need to activate the administrator account in windows and use that instead of your regular account when installing the drivers. You can deactivate it after all of the drivers are installed.

Solidworks usually requires a workstation class video card to run...
