see the thing is, i have a MACBOOK.
the macs that were listed for 64 bits were only the pros.
However I don't see why mine wouldn't.
I have snow leapord. 2.4 ghz. 2gb 1067 mgz ddr3 memory. I mean i have a pretty good machine. I don't see what a pro has that this doesn't besides a firewire port.
I need someone who would know for sure though and could tell me.
Thanks.

If you're going to buy a copy of Windows, you may want to wait a few weeks for Windows 7 to be released. It's much better than any version of Vista.

Agreed. But you'll need Boot Camp 3.0, which comes with Snow Leopard for driver support.

And please, no comments about pirated copies.
