Windows 7 64-bit on Late 2008 MacBook: is it possible?

[beneventi]

Hello, I have a late 2008 Unibody MacBook 13".

Can I install Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate on my Mac using BootCamp even if Apple has not released the official support yet?

I cannot wait any longer for the update.

Best regards.

yup lots of people have done this. support may be limited to be prepared for somethings not to work 100%.

Do I simply need to install Snow Leopard BootCamp drivers or I need to tweak something?

with my imac i used the drivers that came with the osx install disc. all i had to do was delete the stock ATi video driver then upgrade with a newer driver and everything works purrrrfectly 😀

Probably not even that, but if you do, all you need to do is run the BootCamp64.msi installer directly.

I have an oct. 08 MBP and I was able to run x64 flavor of win7 on my MBP. I've since eradicated the install and went to vmware but that's a story for another thread 😉
