[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1547169, member: 46727"] Another reason he's getting the black screen may be that he's not downloading the mobile drivers which his machine needs. The AMD 6900M is a mobility card, not a desktop card, and that fact usually results in the wrong drivers being downloaded. People forget that an iMac is nothing more than a large notebook computer standing vertically. However, while you're correct about his machine supporting 32 bit, unless he absolutely needs to run in 32 bit mode because of some software incompatibility, he should run 64 bit. BTW, I haven't run into any major Windows software that would not run in the 64 bit mode of Windows 7. However, I'm sure there still are some software publishers who remain behind the times. [/QUOTE]
