[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1031279, member: 46727"] If you can find a copy of XP at a decent price and that's what you wish to install, go ahead and do it. XP will certainly have less problems with drivers and older hardware. Remember though, you must use a copy of XP that is compatible with Boot Camp. Read the Boot Camp install instructions first: [URL="http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/?aosid=p204&siteid=1503186&program_id=2554&cid=OAS-EMEA-AFF&tduid=8504d46515b2b3733b4966ad9d70a600"]LINK[/URL] Also note that Windows 7 Home Premium includes 2 DVDs: 32 bit and 64 bit versions. I'm currently using Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit and have had several pieces of older hardware that I could not find drivers for - but that Snow Leopard supported. Regards. [/QUOTE]
