Hey Everyone,

I'm installing Vista Ultimate on my MBP; my dad works for a computer company, so I get all the software I want. My question is wether to install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version. Thanks!

The 32 bit version would be better as you could run more programs that are compatible and doesn't take up to much of your memory or power. Can i just ask... why would you install a microsoft OS that is a copy of MAC OS X (and worse than Mac OS X i might add) on a mac???? Use leopard it is awesome... although i understand if you are using it as a parralel for gaming. However, if you want it for gaming then XP would be better as it is even more compatible than vista and doesn't drain your RAM so much.

thanks for the quick response guys; the only reason i installed vista on the MBP was to see if it would recognize my video camera, so now i'm going to uninstall it. what a waste of time, haha.
