Hi ppl, I wanna ask can leopard OS support windows 7?

Having a problem here where they told me that it can't support and there are some problems with it when i switch to win 7 such as no sound (can't install drivers)

do i need to upgrade to snow leopard in order to use windows 7?

or do i need to downgrade it to windows xp for it to be compatible

i'm running win7 64bit via bootcamp on my macbook. everything seems to work perfectly except for the screen brightness setting which is a bit too high for me in win7 even it's on minimum.

which OS are you using? leopard or snow leopard

according to their website
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899

to use windows 7, it requires snow leopard OS for it..and boot camp 3.1

else there might be problems with lepoard?

System requirements for Windows 7

To use Boot Camp with with Windows 7, you need the following:

* An Intel-based Mac
* A Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard installation disc. This can be either a Mac OS X disc included with a purchased copy, or a Mac OS X Install Disc 1 from a Mac that had Mac OS X v10.6 preinstalled
* Boot Camp Update 3.1 (which can be downloaded from here)

can anyone confirm that leopard can install windows 7 with no problem?
if can i'll try fix my own end

no sound really zzz
