I just got my new machine the other day. Loaded up Snow Leopard on one Hard drive and windows 7 on the other. Anyone else have a similar setup. Wanted to get some feedback. For most of my work I will use SL, but when I game I will load up Windows 7.
I have a question about this. I have Windows 7 loaded on a dedicated drive (not via Bootcamp). However, I am baffled as to how to load up drivers (64 bit) off of my SL DVD. I get the not enough privileges, install "via setup.exe" warning. I also get the 64 bit drivers not supported (yes, it's a 64 bit Widows 7 RC install). Any ideas?
Thanks, Now i have to decide if WOW on SL runs better then on Windows 7. Same with COD 4.

You are going to throw up in your mouth when you see how poor WoW runs on snow leopard... Windows 7 on the same card blows it away by a MINIMUM of 20-30 fps. It disgusted me with the rig in my sig

What should I do?
I have an MP 2009 2.66 quad, ATi 4870, (2 x X-25M raid0 for OSX 10.6.1 & X-25M for Win7). When I install Win7 64bit RC2 (with Boot Camp) the system is stable. When I install the Windows part of Boot Camp from the SL disc the system becomes totally unstable. After every boot Win7 crashes to a blue screen in less than a minute. I guess I can live without the device drivers but I'd like to have the full Boot Camp functionality with restarting etc.
Do any of you have problems with your wired networking inside Win7?
I never have any hiccups in OS X, but if I'm downloading a large file in Windows eventually Network Settings just says that the ethernet cable is unplugged and nothing fixes it except for restarting the machine.
This happened when I was on Win 7 RC and just the other day I switched to Win Server 2008 R2 and the same thing is happening - so I don't think it is the install.
