Hi everybody,
I have already ordered my 24" iMac, and should receive it tomorrow. However there is a "yet unofficial" problem which I cannot really find a solution, since the 24" model of the iMac is very new in the market.
There is already a topic open at the Apple's discussions pages "http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637465&tstart=15" but let me summarize the situation, anyway.
There are only two tested computers so far. One of them is a 2.16ghz w/NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB ram (which works fine with the BootCamp and XP), the other one is 2.16ghz w/NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128MB (which does not work, screen goes blank after the installation).
When I ordered my iMac from MacMall.com, they were offering "XP pre-installed bundles" for iMac 24" models. But after receiving a note or press release from Apple people, they cancelled all the XP bundles for 24" iMacs only. Therefore I cancelled my bundle, too.
However when I called the Apple, they acted like they've never heard this. I've spoken three different tech-support personnel.
My question is has anyone had any problem with their new 24" iMac at the XP installation via BootCamp?
All inputs are highly appreciated.
