Vista 64 bit on iMac?

[King Mook Mook]

Hi Everyone

I am contemplating getting the top of the line iMac 24 inch (4 gb ram, 1 terabyte hard disk etc.) and I want to run Vista 64 bit on it using Boot Camp. My question is there drivers for Vista 64 bit and if there are where can you get them from?

Thanks in advance

Yes, they work fine. Just install the drivers from the Install Disc as usual.

It is my understanding the Windows 64 requires bit drivers, which are (were) not included on the iMac discs. Are they now included on iMac discs?

Apple has the 64 bit drivers here:

Well, but the thing is that I cannot even RUN this update. Yes, it is strange and I have no idea what's wrong. I have installed Vista Ultimate x64 through Boot Camp, and after installing the system, I inserted the Mac OS X DVD, as normally, and of course all drivers cannot be installed. Well, then I have to download the BC update 2.1, and when the download is done, I cannot even run the update. Does any one have the same problem, or have I done something wrong? Apple claims that this update is specially made for the Vista x64 so it is pretty strange that i was unable to even start it. Thanks for responding.

Looks like 64 bit drivers only come on recent macs that support it (not on the Leopard disk), such as Mac Pro
