LOL, im using 64, probably thats the problem.

^ haaaa yeap, that's exactly the problem 64-bit only supported in bootcamp, not VM

sigh, no choice then. cant use all of my current ram, ie 4GB if i dont use 64bit. Can only wait for parallel desktop to do some updates.

why not try vmware fusion? it has the 64bit supported in the current release ..

i tried VMware just now.. successfully installed FIFA.. but still cannot play.. lol

well it's not like u can use 4gb if u use 64-bit anyway... OSX need memory too... unless u got 6gb or 8gb ram?

oh ya true also forgot abt this, thx

Why dont just use bootcamp for now? Wait till Parallel or VMWare update to fully support 64bit then only switch and its free =D

have to restart windows mer.. then all the opened stuff have to close cannot like hibernate the Mac and open windows

btw.. it is possible to install windows in bootcamp after having windows in VMware or Parallel right?

I mean yea you have to deal with that disadvantage since others doenst support 64 bit right? Unless you can live with 32 bit =D

lol, thats the only way i guess. Anyways, whats the diff between Vmware fusion and parallel desktop? If Vmware fusion supports 64bit, i might give it a go since i wont run windows in mac to play games, will mostly use it for printing and applications like photoshop and engineering softwares( for games can always boot in ).

P.S. I have exactly the same macbook pro as you. How much did you get it for?

Yeap you could definitely try VMWare out... My MBP? I bought it for RM5599 (education price) =)

I should be using dual boot on my MBP =D Cause I might be doing some light gaming..

lol, same here, gaming for sure has to use dual booting.
not bad, im paying after conversion rm6300 for edu price, in australia though

Oh... which part of aussie? Im going there in july for my masters in melbourne =D... Maybe you could bring me around haha...

I still havent install my windows yet... Sigh.. Needa read the guide on how to install bootcamp =)

Didnt know after conversion its much more expensive.. Maybe because of the taxes/VATs...

LOL, masters, what course are u pursuing? Im in melbourne.
I thought bootcamp comes together with the new macbook?

Yeap Im pursuing my MBA =D

Oh I mean update my bootcamp software and then install windows in it.... Not to say my MBP doesnt have any bootcamp function =)

using windows 7 64bit with Vmware fusion 3. Works perfectly.

helo mac senpai(s)

i wanna ask. why is it everytime i clear the trash securely then i cannot make a bootcamp partition d a?

i use parallel desktop 5 with windows 7 ultimate x32 on a C2D 2.0 macbook 13". works fine but the aero wont display no matter what tweaks i do to it > <"
Vista Ultimate x32 aero got display though. any idea why?

can elaborate more on ur 1st question? 2nd question i cannot help

ano..i cant actually remember the notices..i'll just try to tell..

one day while emptying my trash a popup said something about cannot delete files because they are locked and if i want to delete them i must hold the option button or press securely empty trash and so i did.. after that i had some free space i figured i go ahead and try out the bootcamp. I run the bootcamp assistant then bla bla bla. I selected 20gb for my windows partition and then waited a long time. After that a notice poped saying something like this "Unable to partition disk, some files are unmovable". i downloaded iDefrag and defraged the drive but still no good. end of story > <"

so instead of "everytime" u mean "only one time"? how can u be so sure u get the error because of emptying the trash?

u bootcamp before?
