MBP and Vista 64bit

Lo all,

Is there still a driver issue with this combination? I'm about to order both and would like 64bit windows but don't want any problems running it on my MBP.

Cheers

If you don't mind mate you would be a legend. I would have to buy you many many e-beers!

Yeah no worries about time mate, I'm going to have to wait a few weeks while the laptop is shipped hehe.

Funnily enough I'm doing the exact same thing; getting RAM and OS from OCUK and running Vista via bootcamp.

AFAIK bootcamp comes with all of the windows drivers on it already. However there were issues with it not having 64bit drivers for the wireless net connection and things like the iSight.

Everything works fine in 32bit Vista, but last I heard there was still a driver issue with 64bit.

Sorry you have to be a guinea pig but thanks again.

Good stuff mate, thanks for the info.

Looks like I'll be ordering 32bit Vista then.

Nice one mate thanks again for your efforts. I'll be ordering it today!

I'm not sure about right click though I'm afraid mate. All my googling has come up with is pre-Leopard bootcamp installs when it only supported XP SP2.

:confused:
