[QUOTE="Shoolie, post: 681071, member: 56006"] I have a new 3.06 ghz iMac that I intended to use for many things including gaming. So I asked here [URL="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=503096"]http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=503096[/URL] which version of vista to buy. So I ordered vista home premium 64-bit from newegg.com and began installing it today. Everything was going fine until I tried to install the boot camp drivers while under windows using the mac os x install disc 1. An installation error stating that boot camp x64 is unsupported under the current computer model, and I could do nothing else after that. I contacted apple tech support and they basically said there is no way to install boot camp drivers on a 64-bit version of vista. So am I basically screwed and have to buy the 32-bit version to be able to use windows properly on my iMac? Any help is appreciated, I'm dying to start playing games on my new iMac :(. [/QUOTE]
