Denicio Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Can winblows MCE even boot up with only 256mb ram? My old P3 700MHz laptop with 128MB of RAM could run Windows XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davilla Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 AppleTV has no bios, only EFI Windows (XP, Vista) need bios, can't boot using EFI only Therefore, until this condition changes, the AppleTV will never run Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soündless Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 macbook pros, macbooks, imacs, mac minis, and mac pros have efi and they can run windows... they system emulates bios i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davilla Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 macbook pros, macbooks, imacs, mac minis, and mac pros also have an EFI which provides a bios compatibility layer which makes the whole bootcamp deal possible. The AppleTV is pure EFI with no bios compatibility layer. No bios compatibility layer = no windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese N' Pancakes Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 anyone who wons an apple tv probably would'nt want to do that. lack of interest = lack of capabitlity. but if someone does it the blogs will be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
