Will windows vista 64-bit run on the Macbook pro 2.33 ghz newest one?

I am contemplating on whether or not I should buy the 64 bit version of windows vista ultimate for my macbook pro, and im not sure if my computer is 64 bit capable .. let alone know what that means. Do I even need the 64 bit version? how will it help me? and will it even work on my mac?! help greatly appreciated ...

Practically speaking I think it's a waste of money unless you use Windows all the time in which case I would wonder why you have a Mac. I assume you have a Mac because that's what you use. Having Windows capability is just an after-thought and not a necessity. At least that's the impression I get from your posts.
In some cases, yes, 64-bit software could be slower because there's twice as much information that needs be processed at one time. Not all 64-bit applications will run faster than 32-bit applications. There are presently not that many 64-bit applications available, and you will have to pay additional money to replace your 32-bit versions with 64-bit versions most likely.
Does it hurt? Of course not. Is it practical? Not really for the casual Windows needs of a Mac user.

  • Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch  (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

    Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch  (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

    You can but make sure you upgrade your RAM to 16GB - you can't do that through Apple...
    Autodesk is a memory intensive program and the same goes with 3D Studio Max.....
    Another suggeston if you must use a 13 inch is to buy the base 13 inch Macbook Pro and upgrade the RAM to 16GB and install a SSD to make it perform fast.
    Another option is to get a refurbished 15 Inch Macbook Pro and do the RAM upgrade yourself...Advantage going 15 Inch is because it has it's own discrete graphics adapter rather than the built in Intel video.

  • FireFox 4 and earlier versions will not install on my Windows Vista, 64 bit computer. The file downloads and the file extracts but I never make it to the installation wizard.

    I have tried to download FireFox 4 and earlier versions from several different website, thinking the files might have gotten corrupted, and each time I download the file the exact same thing happens, the file downloads and the file gets extracted but when the extraction completes the small window dissappears and nothing else happens.
    My machine is a Windows Vista 64 bit system and I've tried downloading the file with my 32 and 64 bit Internet Explorer but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please because I would love to be able to completely delete I.E.

    Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
    The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
    You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
    What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
    See if that helps. Let me know.
    Thanks,

  • How will an external Hard drive designed for the macbook Pro work with my White Macbook?  My  white macbook has a Firewire 400 and the G-Tech HD has a 800 to 400 compatible cable for the firewire.

    I am asking this because I want the G-Tech Hard drive  says that it is designed for the macbook pro.  Yet, I want to back up faster with by using my firewire 400 which is not an option on the one designed for the white macbook that does not have a firewire (only a USB port.)  The G-Tech Hard drive comes with the 800 to 400 compatible cable and has 5400 RPM with 750 GB.  Also, I've heard that laptops with low battery (mine all the time)  won't have the power for a bus powered Hard drive (as in no ac plug in adaptor.)  Can I just plug in my laptop?  Any one know the answers from experience with this hard drive?

    As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
    If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

  • How does Autodesk Maya run on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    Hello there,
    I'm interested in using the MacBook Pro with Retina Display for Autdesk Maya and wanted find out what people's experiences with that are. It'd be great if anyone can help share their experiences!
    Thanks!

    One thing I do know, is the the UI is very small and menu items/buttons are hard to see. Someone posted a video of a now removed autodesk forum response on how to adjust font sizes .cfg file style, but I tried and it did nothing to the small text in Maya 2014. If you plan on it and don't have button and menu locations memorized by feel, I wouldn't use this software on a macbook pro without an external display, or change the resolution out of retina to use Maya.

  • Buying the Macbook pro 2.0 Ghz intel core duo

    Hi!
    Im in the process of buying a portable mac and I have set my eyes on the above mentioned computer (due to a very attractive offer BTW). Allthough my trusty iMac DV (from 2000!) still works perfectly, the need of a portable has emerged.
    So the question is: pros and cons? Fan issues? (I rember that beeing an issue on som of the recent powerbook models)Other "known" problems?
    What about the Macbook as an option?
    Best regards and thank you for any and all input,
    Per
    iMac DV G3 400 mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    iMac DV G3 400 mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Mine works fine. Very fast, nice display, loads of great extras like the luminous keyboard and iSight camera, and not too bulky to carry round. To be aware of: Macbook Pros cannot run OS9 software. Macbook Pros run software designed for PowerPC processors only more slowly than previous G4 computers, however universal binaries run much, much faster. Macbook Pros have been known to have certain issues including a processor whine and "mooing" fans. The whine is normal and is the sound made by processor throttling to save power. The whine can be removed but this reduces battery life. Newer Macbook Pros tend not to suffer from mooing fans, it was more a feature of early models, however it still pays to be aware of it. Macbook Pros run very hot due to the Core Duo processor, but this is completely normal and there is no risk of this damaging the computer.
    As for the Macbook, this suffers from the same problems mentioned with the Macbook pro. The main difference between the two is the lack of a dedicated graphics card in the macbook. So, if you play a lot of games or do a lot of 3D or graphical design work, go with the Pro. Otherwise, buy a macbook, its much easier on the wallet and features the same processor.

  • I tried loading itunes 10.5 onto my window vista 32-bit. it finishes the download and then when i go to install it say an error occured. Can someone help plz?

    I tried loading itunes 10.5 onto my window wista 32-bit. It finishes the download and when i try to install it. I says that an error occured while trying to install.
    Can somebody help me plz?

    Hi all, I know this is a very old thread, but I was battling this issue for awhile and wanted to provide my solution in case future users encounter a similar issue.
    I am running Windows 8. I encountered this issue while trying to install iTunes 11.1 x64 version. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the real issue was trying to install the Apple Mobile Device service.
    My resolution was installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package. It is available from Microsoft. A search on Google should reveal it. However, here is the latest link that I used: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14431
    Note that redistributable packages for more recent versions of Visual C++ (eg 2008, 2010) will NOT work. Only 2005 version worked for me.
    Good luck!

  • My HP Pavilion a6357c with Windows Vista 32-bit freezes until the system warms up

    Any time I start the computer up when it hasn't been used, the system fails to boot.  It will freeze up in the process where I have to hold the "ON" button down to shut it down and then attempt to reboot.  the system will freeze just about anywhere in the process.  Sometimes I get to log in with my user name, and then the screen will freeze up.  Sometimes trigger a blue screen, sometimes a black screen and then perform a hard disc diagnostic routine.  Once whatever component warms up, the system works great. 

    I am not that familiar anymore with troubleshooting Windows XP, but way back in the day I seem to recall that the Windows recovery console would be used to fix issues like the one you're describing. It sounds like you may have a corrupted boot sector if it keeps going into the windows recovery mode.  The solution could be as simple as using the last known good configuration or possibly doing a system restore.  You may want to try this link on Technet that explains the recovery console and the tools available in it like fixmbr..

    Worst case you may be looking at doing a reinstall of windows XP.

  • Windows Vista frozen when running on a MacBook

    Hello all - I have a brand new MacBook running OSX 10.6.2. I've successfully installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32 via BootCamp. Apple drivers are loaded correctly and everything seems to work fine except Vista seems to FREEZE after running for a few minutes. Sometimes it lasts longer, sometimes it gets frozen immediately after logging in. Does anyone knows a cure? Much thanks!

    Same problem... Tried going through all the posts... No result...
    ANYONE, PLEASE HELP...

  • How do I enable Windows 7 64-bit on Spring 2010 Macbook Pro?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to install Windows 7 Home Premium in my brand new MacBook Pro. I already bought the full retail version. I am aware of the fact that the Windows 7 installation disc has both, 32bit and 64bit versions (of Windows 7) on it. I just wanted to know what do you have to do in order to tell BootCamp to install the 64bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 32bit. The main reason of what I want to do this is that I have 4gb of ram and I don't want it to be wasted since the 32bit version of Windows 7 will not see the additional ram.
    I will appreciate any help on this matter.
    Thank You.
    Mike
    (System Specs Below)

    you don't do anything to bootcamp, when the installation of windows starts, you have the option of installing 32 or 64 bit versions. that's where it's done.
    then after that, you have to install the 64 bit drivers from your mac os x install dvd, then 3.1 update. it's sort of described here in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2531082&tstart=0
    there are all sorts of weird problems you might have, like black screen during install/reboot, drivers not working, etc...
    but in answer to your question, you choose 32/64 bit during bootup of the windows install disc (which bootcamp will take you into), not in bootcamp itself.

  • Will windows 7 oem branded  run on my mac pro that has lion 10.7.5

    I am a new mac user and want to run boot camp and windows 7.  I tried to load my windows 7 upgrade and found that would not work.  My question is will a windows 7 home premium oem like dell or Hp load on my mac?
    any help much appreciated

    Like the gray machine specific disks Macs shipped with (before Lion), OEM Windows disks are also machine specific. They only contain the drivers necessary to work on the PC they shipped with. You must purchase a full version retail copy of Win 7. Do not purchase a retail upgrade disk.

  • Help, hotsync palm treo 755p to my laptop with windows vista 64 bit.

    I am computer unsavy and could use some help.  I have a palm treo 755p that previously synced with my old dell laptop.  That computer broke, and I got a new HP with windows vista 64 bit.  Previously, the dell was running windows xp.  I have bought some new software, which I have downloaded to my laptop, and am trying to sync my palm to the new computer so that I can download the program to the computer.  However, after installing the Palm Hotsync Manager and other software, and when I trying to sync, the computer does not seem to recognized my palm, and times out after a while stating "the connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again.

    Palm OS devices will only sync to 64bit through Bluetooth. We have a stickie concerning this. It's the third topic down under windows hotsync. Does your computer have Bluetooth?
