Vista 64Bit running on MBP C2d success

[Mobility151990]

Just to let you know im running the home premium vista 64bit version on my 17" core 2 duo macbook pro :d

so far it seems very very nice, even though i do hate windows. so far the only things NOT working are isight, sound and wireless internet. Everything else is a go, i will post a screenshot in 30 mins. thanks

Can you post some benchmarks? And any lessons learned figuring out how to get it installed?

hi sure what program do you want benchmarks with ( im new to windows ) so point me to the program(s) heh

very very easy, use bootcamp make the partition and reboot as normal and install. Although i found with my 64bit disc it wouldn't let me startup into the x64 installation only the x86 one BUT a couple of the steps in it let me select x86 or x64 installations so i chose x64 home premium and it installed perfectly from then on

Has drivers for the graphic chipset already installed and ethernet device.

kewl that it works for you. I'm going to try to install ultimate on my mb whenever I have the time and HD space.

when vista gets released, will they have two different versions for 32bit or 64bit? i think leopard will only have one that does both just like universal apps work for ppc and intel in one download.

Thanks for the picture Mobility151990.


Vista looks better than XPee, but still not as refined as Mac OS X in my opinion.

Hi, I have a question for you.
Did i understand you correctly, that you was able to make WiFi working on macbook?
I have exactly the same 2 problems. No sound and no WiFi.
My macbook pro 2.16 runs Vista without any delays, but no sound and WiFi kills everything...
Any help is appreciated
thank you.

my guess is you're running it under boot camp?
