[QUOTE="chscag, post: 988005, member: 46727"] To the OP: Have got to agree with Van. Unless there is some compelling reason to run Win 7 64 bit, it might be best to stick with the 32 bit version for now. Very few Windows programs have been recompiled for 64 bit. That may change in the future, however for now most are 32 bit including the popular games. As for starting Snow Leopard in 64 bit mode by default, (other than holding down the 6 and 4 key) you can't. Only the Apple X server products will boot to 64 bit by default. See this [URL="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10320314-37.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=News-Apple"]article[/URL]. As far as installing Windows 7 64 bit via Boot Camp goes.... Nothing special needed. Just follow directions and make sure you have the latest Boot Camp for Windows (3.1). Regards. [/QUOTE]
