[QUOTE="chscag, post: 961283, member: 46727"] To ih8pc: It's not a question of Leopard or Snow Leopard. It depends on which version of Boot Camp you use. Since you can not download Boot Camp 3.0, that leaves you with the Boot Camp 2.1 update as the best to use if you wish to install Windows 7. Windows 7 is not officially supported by Apple and will not be until Apple issues an update for Boot Camp. Currently, Boot Camp 3.0 only officially supports Win XP and Vista. (Make sure you understand the Apple articles given in the links that were previously posted.) However, most folks (myself included) have used Boot Camp 3.0 to install Windows 7 without a problem. There are drivers that are not available yet for some hardware if you decide to install the 64 bit version of Win 7. You might want to wait until Apple issues an update for Boot Camp to support Win 7 officially and then purchase a copy of Snow Leopard. My understanding is that Boot Camp 3.0 and the update to it will only be available to Snow Leopard owners. In other words you will have to have Boot Camp 3.0 already installed before the update can be installed. Regards. [/QUOTE]
