[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1413925, member: 46727"] If you purchase Windows Home Premium direct from Microsoft, the package contains the 32 bit and 64 bit versions on two DVDs. I recommend installing the 64 bit version of Windows 7 as that will allow you to use all available memory installed in your iMac. The 32 bit version of Windows 7 will limit you to using only 3.6 GB of your installed memory. And a reminder... please read and print out the Boot Camp Assistant instructions prior to starting the installation process. And since your iMac is new, you will have to download a driver image disk from Apple in order to complete the installation of Windows 7. That is an important step that is often overlooked. Without those drivers from Apple, Windows 7 will not work right. Let us know if you have any further questions. [/QUOTE]
