fum Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hy If heard about the Problems of Dualbooting on the new iMac Core Duo because of the EFI Bios. The New Beta Verson of Windows Vista (Codename: Longhorn) theoreticaly supports that kind of Bios. But you have to donwload the 32bit Version from piratebay.org. There are hacks to overcome the 30 activation. Probably there are some driver problems, I don't know because I couldn't test it. This is only an Input if someone has expiriances please poast.

KublaKhan Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 How about the 64 bit Vista... Link to Intel's confession: http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/intel/intel...sers-153822.php Woohoo! Rename the site to OSX64! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altimit Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 64-bit chips are still considered x86 architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INFNITE Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Core Duo's are NOT natively 64bit chips....if they are 64bit, why the hell are all the other Core Duo laptops coming out running Windows XP 32bit? Until Vista has full EFI implementation (probably this month's CTP, which is supposed to be feature-complete. maybe the full release of Vista this Fall will have EFI), major hacking will be required to get Windows to run on the MacTels. It's even possible that Apple's EFI implementation is modified so Vista won't run on it. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk14 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 64-bit chips are still considered x86 architecture. Not necessarily. Only chips x86/IA32 chips with EM64T or AMD64 extensions are x86-compatible. Intel's Itanium (which is IA64) is not x86 or compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Nightmare Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hopefully this month's release will feature an EFI-Compatible build, and at that point we will be able to boot and do an install. Until then, all versions, like that that I have, will be more or less useless until an alternative means of running them have been found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
