[QUOTE="Br1an, post: 1272863, member: 209322"] Hello everybody! My name is Brian and I'm looking for some knowledge. I'm 25 years old and just recently decided to brush up on my education while continuing my career. I purchased a MacBook Pro Dual-Core i7 with 8Gb ram. My networking technology/security classes use windows programs and as they are resource intensive, I was told not to use a program such as parrelles. With that being said, I opened up bootcamp to see what it was all about and somehow I got it to start downloading (bootcamp?) drivers and either asked for a CD or DVD (obviously r/w, right) I ask because I'm at work and want to pick up these discs on the way home. What exactly do I need? Secondly, I Plan on running Windows 7 64bit on 250GB (maybe less) on a partioned space. Doable? I ask because I remember years ago I.e 2009 - people having problems with sound drivers on win7 64bit. An additional information you can give me would be greatly appreciated! I'm excited to be here and talk (s)Mac! :-) PS running osx lion [/QUOTE]
