installing win xp pro x64 on MacPro
hi guys,
i've downloaded the win xp pro 64 trial frm the microsoft web, and burned it to an empty cd. it's an iso image file so how do i install on my macpro? i had bootcamp installed earlier and win xp pro 32 running when i load in the cd, it did not detect and run...only detect the genuine full version of win xp pro 32...so i should use a full version cd of xp pro 64? |

Re: installing win xp pro x64 on MacPro
Officially, XP64 is not yet supported. Probably in the release version of Bootcamp, which should ship with Leopard. Until then only 32-bit Windows is supported. If you'd RTFM'ed you would have seen this.

Re: installing win xp pro x64 on MacPro
It's a dual-dual Xeon that supports x64. Newer consumer Mac are Core2 Duo, which also supports x64, but older consumer Intel Macs are Core Duo, which does not. There aren't any Mac Pros that don't have it.

Re: installing win xp pro x64 on MacPro
Just use XP32, then when XP64 is supported, if you have over 4GB RAM, you can switch to that. Or Google for x64 and Bootcamp - there are people who have hacked together ways of running it, but YMMV.
I'd stay even further away from Vista64 than I would from Vista32, and I stay very far away from Vista32. Neither is ready for prime time (I've already posted plenty on that) but 64's driver support is even more lacking than 32. |
