[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1149426, member: 46727"] Hey, it's your machine and your $$$. ;D Macs do not use a "BIOS" but rather employ the more modern "EFI" ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Firmware_Interface"]Extensible Firmware Interface[/URL]) method of booting and boot sector. You should have no problem installing Windows 7. Just boot your Mac with the Win 7 DVD and install just like you would on a PC. However, if ever you should wish to go back to Snow Leopard, you'll have to reset the PRAM/NVRAM before booting from the original Snow Leopard DVD. [/QUOTE]
