By default bootcamp wants 32-bit. You can install 64-bit Windows 7 nevertheless. As for me , I did install Windows 7 32-bits !

just wondering, instead of buying a mini display port to DVI adapter and a mini display to VGA adapter can i just buy the mini display to DVI adapter and then use a DVI to VGA converter when i wanna use VGA?

Noted, thanks for the advise bros!

Hey guys, I need to install windows on my mac and I already did some research.
I also have a genuine copy of windows 7 pro 64 bit with me.
And when I was about to start the installation, I realized I need some drivers for it to be fully functional
Then I googled again, and now I know the drivers are all located in the OS X Leopard DVD given.
The problem is, I left it so far away even 10 hour drive could not bring me there.

Can somebody help me on this?
Or is anybody kind enough to lend me his/her OS X DVD?
FYI I own the core i5 2.4GHz Macbook Pro.

Thanks in advance!

^hahahaa

ya wilson88, it has been like that for a very long time already. still funny nonetheless

Just got my 2.53GHz i5 15" MacBok Pro two days ago. So far so good. Loving it. I'm proud to join the cult that is Apple Fanboi-ism. =p

I'm curious... On what grounds did you opt for 2.53GHz i5 and neither 2.4GHz i5 nor 2.66GHz i7...?

I don't mean to offend you, the reason I asked was that a lot of ppl think of 2.53GHz spec stuck right in the middle of 2.4GHz and 2.66GHz - with most opt for basic 2.4GHz with plans to upgrade on every MBP revisions, and 2.66GHz for them to last few years. 2.53GHz model however to these ppl are a waste of money as it brings very minute performance superiority over 2.4GHz, having similar amount of RAM and VRAM. A 180GB difference in HDD capacity and a 0.13GHz processing speed do not even justify the additional RM 600 (retail price) over the 2.4GHz model.

bootcamp driver can be downloaded from apple website.

yea,.. i not sure about that too.. any bro can help? i got mini to DVI but when wanna connect to projector.. i face the problem like u do..

lol.. hahahhaha.. BSOD!

macbook can see wat pc is broadcasting on the monitor?

no la. its a joke, all the PC are represented with a BSOD

lol..
i thought the MBP built-in with VNC xD

Yeah I actually had this dilemma when i was buying the MBP. I know the extra .13 GHz would have just a slight impact on boot time, file transfer time, video rendering time, etc., but for some reason i valued the 500GB HDD highly and thought that plus the slight superiority in processing power was worth the 600 bucks.

Having said that, I understand where you're coming from. And I'm now thinking if i made a mistake in getting this model. But what the heck, the money's been spent and I'm happy with it. So yeah.

Just bought my MBP 15-inch from friendly seller, tabs, yesterday. Last nite I charged it up and now I am using it first. I have been a Windows user for many years and since I bought an iPhone, thought it logical to move to a Mac. Now being a first time user, when I launch Safari, instead of getting a full screen I get a minimised screen. How do I get the full screen?

Safari opens a website according to the size the webmaster intended it to be viewed typically 800x600 resolution is the defaults, if you want to make the safari window to fill the entirety of your screen, look at the bottom right of the safari window right below the vertical scroller, you can adjust that.

kinda not long enuf to plug directly to wall socket..
will try that out..

but now on power adapter
stil getting the electrostatic intermittently..
sigh sigh..

Is it normal for the bottom of a MBP to be hot even after using for just half an hour or so?
