thats FASLE
i am running Windows x64 on my Imac (24") right now. the only thing that bootcamp does not support are the drivers, you have to go out and find those for yourself, as if you had installed windows and lost your driver CDs. the ethernet works, so you go to sites (nvidia, intel, etc) and get their x64 drivers, download, install, restart, good to go.
i can run everything from video games to office programs on this baby. The only things that dont work are the camera and the wireless, although I am hunting down which wifi card manufacturer apple used. I found a website that had ALL the drivers you needed, or the name of the manufacturer, so you could find it yourself, but i lost it right now.
In any case, a lot of threads here say you cant, but YES YOU CAN. You just have to get the drivers yourself.
I am running Vista x64 and it is very fast. The only drivers I have not gotten working are for the sound card, trackpad support and wi-fi. Trackpad and button work fine... but I cannot use some of the special features (right-click, scrolling, etc.) Can anyone help with findin these 64-bit drivers??
Just purchased a Mac for the first time, a MBP that's in transit. I'll use it for business, so Windows apps, and I plan on boot camp with Win XP Pro.
I pass on Vista after test driving it for 2 weeks, so I had thought Win XP Pro (regular x32). Deja vu Win ME vs. Win2K?
Then last night I downloaded the trial from MS, and installed XP Pro x64 w/(SP2) on my desktop sys. Wow-- it's solid and noticeably faster than 32bit XP Pro. I notice in Task Mgr that the 2.2ghz Athlon X2 CPU runs at a lower % usage and slower moving/more stable level, and same with the 2gb of physical memory.
Got drivers for my Epson printer/scanner & Intel V.92 modem from Mfrs, and both of those working fine. Odd, Norton Int Security 05 wouldn't install, so went with Avast (v4 Home) for A-V, & I like it better.
So i think I've decided for Win XP Pro x64 bit on my macbook pro and I'll do time on drivers search. What about the Apple ext USB 56k modem? Is there a Win x64 driver for it?
I think i'd like a wireless mouse that would need a x64 driver, don't suppose that will be too hard to find.
I'm looking forward to discovering Tiger OS.
