Windows 7 RC 64bit on 2006 MacBook.

I have a late 2006 MacBook. 2.0 core2duo, 2GB ram, 160GB HD.
Last week I was running:
10.5 Leopard - 140GB
Windows 7 Beta 64bit- 20GB
when I installed the beta, I had loads of grief getting hold of 64bit drivers.
I can't remember where I got them from but I have lost them.
On friday when I installed snow leopard I erased my entire HD.
Expecting to setup like this:
10.6 Snow Leopard - 135GB
Windows 7 RC 64bit - 25GB
snow leopard went on ok. When I came to windows 7 it started messing me around and wouldn't een start the installer, giving me a message to select my boot type that I couldn't do. I googled it and fixed it.
Today, I installed it. And started to try and put the drivers on.
I have inserted my snow leopard disk, and it says, that my mac is not compatible.
So I explored the disk, and went too the drivers folder. In it I found manufacturers names, with 32 and 64 bit drivers. In the apple folder, I opened a 64bit folder and manually installed all the drivers for Bluetooth, trackpad, ect.
Except the bootcamp software, the bit that allows you to dim your screen with the keyboard, ect. I presume this is where you install the software that lets you have read only access to your mac drive, an advertised point of snow leopard.
Anyway, when clicking either the 64bit or the 32bit, it just says, that you must start it from setup.exe, but setup.exe says it isn't compatible.
What do I do?
I thought about reinstalling the old 2.1 drivers, I think they came from a mac pro bundled restore disk, (if anyone could send me the file that would be great: [email protected]) But I thought about then updating them, because if I ran the snow leopard disk maybe it would see them
and think it was 64bit?
Any help appreciated
thanks guys!
Joe

It appears your MacBook is not compatible with 64 bit Windows. Perhaps you would have better luck with the supported 32 bit version of Windows.
These Mac computers can use 64-bit editions of Windows Vista:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2008) and later
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2008) and later
Mac Pro (Early 2008) and later

Install Windows 8.1 64bit on a Macbook Pro Late 2008 (using bootcamp 4.0.4033)

Hi everyone, I just tried to install windows 8.1 64bit (x64) on my MacBook Pro 15'' Late 2008 (Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz - 4GB RAM - Nvidia 9600M GT 512Mo), running Mavericks (10.9.5), and successed it with bootcamp 4.0.4033.
I installed it from scratch (new partition, no update from windows 7), in less than 1h following these very simple steps :
Step "0" :
- You'll need an two-button usb mouse plugged
- Make sure your 64bit kernel is activated by typing this line of command in the terminal :
sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64
If you need to cancel it, simply type this :
sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386
I don't really know if this activation is necessary, but I did it 6 months ago for After Effects and maybe this activation has an effect on what happens next.
Step 1 : download the contents of bootcamp 4.0.4033 on a USB key, downloadable here : Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033
After the download, you'll need to unzip this file in your usb key.
NB : This bootcamp only works from XP to windows 7, but it will be enough for your old-timer laptop.
Step 2 : Create a new NTFS partition on your HDD (using the disk utility)
Windows 8.1 64 bit needs at least 20GB, so I recommend a 100GB partition as a minimum for a correct running OS (the "15%" rule).
NB : Windows 8.1 will run over a NTFS partition and nothing else.
Step 3 : Insert your bootable windows 64bit 8.1 (CD or USB key).
Step 4 : Reboot your laptop, and keep pressed the Alt key just after the boot bell sound.
The OS selection screen loads. Once appeared, you can release the Alt key.
Step 5 : If your bootable device is working, the OS selection screen will display a "Windows 8.1" HDD or CD icon. Click on it and presse "enter".
Maybe you'll see a "UFI Windows" or "UFI Boot" or "UFI something...", this doesn't work.
After pressing "enter", the windows 8.1 installation process will start.
Step 6 : During the installation process, you'll have to chose the destination partition for your OS.
Select the partition you've created earlier (step 2)
Following the windows 8.1 steps are very simple.
NB : Don't forget to press the Alt key when windows 8.1 tries to restart!
Step 7 : Eject your windows 8.1 CD/usb key, then reboot holding Alt key, and select your freshly installed windows OS in the selection screen
Step 8 : After windows 8.1 is loaded, insert your usb key with Bootcamp 4.0.4033, open the "bootcamp" folder, right-click on the bootcamp setup, and click on "properties".
Select the "compatibility" tab
Check the box "run this program in compatibility mode for"
In the list below this box, select "Windows 7"
Click "Apply" then "Ok"
Now launch this boot camp setup (press "enter" or double-click)
Step 9 : Complete the BootCamp installation process, then restart (like step 7)
Don't forget to hold the Alt key after the bell sound
Step 10 : Enjoy your freshly installed windows 8.1!
You can acces your bootcamp parameters from the task bar (click on the tiny booycamp icon to open the quick menu and then click on the parameters/configurater). Here you can set your keyboard preference, your trackpad preference (multi-touch works), etc.
Following this procedure, I can use the built-in Apple-maped keyboard of my MBP. Every function keys works (Volume, luminosity, etc.)
Coming from Windows XPSP3, I was very surprised by the speed of the windows 8.1 installation (using an external USB super drive), and more surprised by this OS running flawlessly on my undying MBP!
The only issue I have is that my ethernet port isn't recognized, but it's a minor problem and i'm gonna found it quickly. I think it's due to my installation which wasn't perfectly clean (I try to run manually bootcamp 5.0.1 first, so there is some crap drivers somewhere).
So in order to confirm this procedure, i'm gonna re-install windows 8.1 from scratch very soon, because it take less time to do it (from step 1 to step 10) than write this article!

And I used this method:
1. Install Windows 8.1
2. Download BootCamp 5 and unzip to folder BootCamp5 of a USB drive
3. Start CMD as Administrator
4. Install BootCamp 5 by entering the following commands
D: (Assuming the USB drive is assigned to letter D
CD BootCamp5\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple
BootCamp.msi
No need for InstEd might be considered by some as even more elegant as bezodziu's method

Installing AUTHENTIC windows 7 ultimate 64bit on Macbook Pro - ERROR, help!

I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 64bit (not the beta or RC, this is an authentic windows 7 DVD -- signature edition) on my macbook pro using Bootcamp. When the computer tries to reboot, i get a message that says:
1.
2.
select cd-rom boot type:"
I saw forum posts with this problem where people were using improperly burned windows 7 versions, however, this is not a burned DVD -- its authentic from microsoft. This means i cant reburn the dvd...
Any suggestions?!

Did you by any chance install Snow Leopard on your MacBook Pro?
My MacBook Pro was working perfectly fine. Installed windows many times the last 2-3 years and never had problems.
I installed Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago and since then I get this exact same error with all my Windows Install discs (ones that always worked before!).
Whatever I do. I can't get any Windows installed anymore.
The discs are fine, Bootcamp menu reads it and recognise it. But the moment you try boot from it you end up with the error the OP is describing!
And all this, after I installed Snow Leopard. Restoring to previous versions of MacOSX did not help!
So it seems that the Snow Leopard installation does something to the DVD drives on the MacBook Pro's (upgrading firmware whatever) and now it's ruined!!

Windows drivers for 2006 macbook???

I am using a late 2006 macbook with lion on mac partition and i just installed windows xp sp3 with bootcamp,i am having a problem trying to find the drivers for ethernet, wireless, pci and usb device???

If you have a 10.6 Snow Leopard install disk you can try to install them while booted into Windows. Since Lion doesn't support XP or Vista the 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and maybe 3.3 versions are going to be as good as it gets.

Will Windows 7 64Bit Install on Macbook?

I have been trying to educate myself on whether or not Windows 7 will install onto my Macbook 4,1. Have seen a lot written about MBP's, but little on just MacBooks. I currently run Vista and XP on my machine in 32 bit through BootCamp and Parrallels, but am hoping to get rid of Vista and replace it with 64bit Win 7. Just wondering if it can be done, or if I have to go get the 32 bit version to do this.

Hi,
I am running Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on MacBook unibody and upto now I managed to get everything up an running.
Windows 7 install fairly easily and runs OOB using BootCamp (dual boot). Then install the BootCamp drivers 64-bit version. Remember to run it as Adminstrator mode.
Even better install the latest bootcamp v3 drivers from the snow leopard dvd. You will have all fn keys, on screen displays etc. Also some people say that you cannot have a native right click on MacBook with Windows, but I can assure you that the bootcamp v3 drivers add a native right click to windows via the bootcamp control panel.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see that I could even access the mac os file system via Windows!
I can say that Windows 7 really rocks on MacBook with 4GB of accessible RAM.
Hope that this helps.

Install Windows 7 Pro 64bit on MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014

Trying to install Window 7 Pro on my new MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014. I went through the following:
Attempt 1: Downloading the latest bootcamp support drivers, copied on flash drive and used BCA for partitioning. Booting from Ext. DVD with USB pin drive containing the drivers inserted
Attempt 2: Using ISO to create a bootable USB pin drive with bootcamp support drivers on the same..
Both attempts ended being unable to pass Windows 7 language selection screen. Mouse/Trackpad/Keyboard are not working.
Windows 8.1 pro works fine, but I'm not very happy with it..
Any advice?

The primary challenge is due to absence of proper drivers on the W7 installer to support the USB ports. One thing to check is if the USB is a USB2 or USB3. USB3 pen drives will not work.
You should also try Attempt 2 using all available USB ports available, one at a time. Disconnect any other peripherals other than KM and USB before you start installation. BT devices are not very stable when used.
If you can see any files in the Bootcamp volume from the OSX side, look for installer logs for details.

How can I connect an older Realistic stereo mixer to my 2006 Macbook?

I am a musician and producer and just got "LiveWire CMR-210" cords at Guitar Center today. One is gray and the other is red, and the end has a jack that can connect to your headphone jack or line-in on your computer. I also have a Realistic stereo mixer, it's a little bit older, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be able to connect to computers. My laptop is a 2006 Macbook running Snow Leopard. I would like to know how to connect my mixer to my Macbook and use it with VirtualDJ and Garageband, and if possible use it in iTunes.
Thank you in advance for your help. I'm new to Macs but I love my Mac so much already after learning how to use them.

Upgrade Office to Office 2011 for OS X. You can download a trial at www.mactopia.com. Old versions of iWork boxed sets can be found searching Amazon, eBay, or Google.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Speedgrade CC 2014.2 build 8.2x51 unsmooth/choppy 4K playback with GPU R9 295x2 - it uses only 2 GB of RAM (Windows 8.1 64Bit), Mac OS - same problem

Hello, guys
I have following configuration:
i7-5960x @ 4.3 GHz
32 GB DDR4 RAM
ATI 295x2 8GB (Gpusniffer.exe shows 3072 MB on each Hawaii unit)
M.2 Ultra Samsung XP941 (>1000Mb/sec)
Few 850 Pro SSD for H.264 4k source
Latest Speedgrade CC build at 16/02/2015 (DUAL MONITOR SETUP - 2560x1440 for Interface and 4096x2160 for Preview)
I work with a lot of short 10-15 seconds 4K 4096x2160 24FPS H.264 clips from Panasonic GH4. Import them to Premiere CC as is, some warp stabilization, cut them, save project and open in Speedgrade CC. Everything is fantastic smooth in Premiere CC.
In Speedgrade - some simple color correction - Exposition, some keyframes and the most simple grading for some material. I use GPU acceleration for sure to have full 4096x2160 4K 24FPS. But it is not responsive and smooth after some correction is applied. Everything is choppy and freezes first seconds, when I press "PLAY". I used Resources monitor, Task manager (Winodws 8.1 64-bit) and Afterburner. And there is what I found out:
Afterburner shows utilization of single GPU (as we know for playback only 1 GPU used) the same amount like in Premiere. Speedgrade CC uses 2,5GB VRAM. By the way, if I use some none-gpu-accelerated effect, like "transform", for example, imported from Premiere, I will get "Not enough GPU resources" message in Speedgrade. Afterburner shows, that Speedgrade CC tried to utilize more, then max. available VRAM 3GB during this moment. So I switch off such effects, before open project in Speedgrade.
Processor is also low on utilization (15%), maybe even a little lower, then in Premiere CC
Disk - 3-10%, H.264 is low on it
RAM !!! - is the problem. I allowed to use 29 GB of RAM to Adobe apps. Speedgrade CC uses not more, then 2-3 GB according to Taskmanager (mostly 2GB) and Resources Monitor of Windows 8.1 64Bit Pro. After I finished with color correction, opened project in Premiere CC, everything works smooth with lumteri on and! Premiere CC uses 9-10 GB of RAM to play the same clip at full resolution smoothly!!!
I already reinstalled everything, including drivers for GPU, Windows 8.1 and Adobe CC. Same result.
Macbook Pro Retina 15 late 2013 with i7-4960HQ/16gb RAM/Geforce 750m UPDATE!
Under Mac Os Yosemite 10.10.2 - same situation here. Premiere CC uses 5GB (of 11GB available) for 4096x2160 Prores 422 HQ and is usable, smooth with some frame drops.
Speedgrade CC uses 2,5 GB of RAM for 4096x2160 and it is impossible to use full 4096x2160. Only 1/2 Resolution for preview is smooth and usable at notebook display. At external 4096x2160 monitor connected through Thunderbolt it is much more choppy, I think it is hard for 750m with 2 GB of VRAM.
UPDATE! Previous version (CC 2014) of Premiere CC and Speedgrade CC under Windows 8.1 64-bit - same situation.
What do you think?
My opinion - Speedgrade CC is not optimized for 4K resolutions. Premiere CC is good for 4K.
btw, for information, latest AMD catalyst omega driver 14.12 has a problem with my R9 295x2 and Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) OpenCL - just the black screen with sound, when I turn on GPU acceleration. So I use previous 14.9 version. With 14.12 GPUsniffer.exe found one GPU device with 4Gb of VRAM and one GPU with 3GB of VRAM (normally must be 3GB+3GB for 295x2 Dual GPU-chip radeon).

So, I got MSI 290x 8GB tested and... found out that I can't use 8GB of VRAM, because there are some AMD driver limitations!!!
1. I switched off my 295x2 8Gb (4GB+4GB) to be sure, it will not affect VRAM amount.
2. I launched Gpusniffer utility with 14.9 AMD driver and 3072 Mb VRAM was available ONLY! It worked like 295x2 with 3072 + 3072 Mb VRAM.
3. I installed 14.12 AMD Omega driver and GPUsniffer informed that I have now 8192 Mb!!! But! Mercury Playback Engine did not work with Premiere Pro CC or Speedgrade CC as with my 295x2. Just black screen.
RGB and Luma at 0 and preview is black with 14.12 AMD driver. Premiere PRO - the same situation.
With 14.9 AMD Driver. Left 2560*1440 Dell working area monitor and 4096*2160 preview LG monitor right side.
With 14.9 Gpusniffer shows 3 and 3 and 3GB Vram instead of 4GB and 4GB and 8Gb. As I understood with CrossfireX switched off - Adobe products and their GPUsniffer utility could "find" and use 8GB on primary GPU, but again we can see AMD driver issues.
Single 290x 8GB with 14.9 AMD driver also displays only 3072 Mb available in Gpusniffer.
NEATVIDEO informed on their website in Bugs section about 14.12 driver problem with MPE. They also wrote about problem to AMD, so I did. I think, this is really bad story. So, AMD, we are awaiting for normal drivers.

Order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from The Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

Need to format the drive on a 2006 MacBook Pro 10.6.8. Command R does not get it to recovery mode. I need to format, reload OS10 and partition the drive.

I tried command R to get into recovery mode. My goal is to format the MBP drive, partition the drive and load Windows through Boot Camp. Disk Utility will not allow access to reformat the drive. Is there another access method to format the drive?

jjoside,
Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8) does not come with Recovery mode; you’d need Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) or newer for that. If you’d like to reformat your internal disk and reïnstall Snow Leopard on it, you’ll need to boot from the white retail Snow Leopard DVD which was originally used to install Snow Leopard on your MacBook Pro. [Your 2006 MacBook Pro came from the factory with Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.something) installed.] If you no longer have your white Snow Leopard DVD, you can purchase a replacement Snow Leopard DVD from Apple.

Why is my early 2006 macbook crashing after upgrading ram?

I've got a black early 2006 Macbook. I recently upgraded the RAM from 1gb (two 512mb modules) to 2gb (two 1gb modules). I used Crucial brand RAM if that makes a difference.
Anyway, since I upgraded, rather than being able to keep more windows open without the computer slowing down, my screen is freezing up and while sometimes it give me eventual control again, many times it will just tell me to restart the computer. This happens when watching any sort of video either online or off a HD. I had a bunch of tabs open tonight with no video playing (but one video loading) and I had to restart the computer.
Can someone help me? Much appreciated.
I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 BTW

FIrst thing I would do is running the Apple Hardware Test Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
Could be you got a faulty RAM module.
If faulty contact Crucial for replacement.
Also check if the the modules are seated correctly and/or reseat them.

Brand new Macbook Pro slower than my 2006 Macbook

I bought a new Macbook Pro last month and upgraded the RAM to 4 GB and the hard drive to 500 GB. My previous Mac was a mid-2006 Macbook with 2 GB RAM.
I was expecting it to be noticeably faster than my 2006 Macbook (which is still running Tiger/10.4), but it isn't. Two things are particularly noticeable.
1) Startup time. The 2006 Macbook is 5 or 10 seconds faster starting up.
2) Safari. Safari is a couple of seconds faster loading identical websites on the 2006 Macbook. I tried updating Safari on the Macbook Pro to the new Safari 4 beta, and that is slightly faster, but still noticeably slower than on my Macbook.
I've tried running the set of Applescripts called "Maintenance" (available on the web) to do all regular maintenance tasks.
I've run software update. Everything is up to date.
Any suggestions of other things I should be checking to try to improve the speed of my Macbook Pro are much appreciated.
I find it really mystifying that performance is so noticeably worse on a brand new, much more powerful machine.
Thanks

Thanks for the replies.
In re the OS, I personally don't see many significant improvements in OS 10.5. Sure, little things here and there, but major power improvements over 10.4 that should cause startup time to be slower? I don't see it. I'm surprised in the design phase Apple's software engineers would allow longer startup time (always one of their biggest selling point over the Windows world) in return for such things as being able to hit the space bar in the finder to open a document quickly. I'm not using Time Machine, for instance, so that shouldn't be slowing down startup... or at least actually loading it in functioning mode shouldn't be slowing things down.
In re Safari, I'm doing as scientific a test as I possibly can here at home. Both computers sitting right next to each other, connected to the same network wirelessly, clicking on the same web link at exactly the same time. My 2006 Macbook is consistently faster at loading the page. Even more, it is significantly faster at loading the page to a "usable" point. For instance, if I click on the main page of the New York Times, the 2006 Macbook will load faster and will let me scroll down much earlier in the load process. On the 2009 MBP, the page shows up a few seconds slower, and it takes another few seconds more before the spinning beach ball stops and I can scroll down on the page. This is true both with Safari 3 and 4 on the MBP.
I just find it weird that a much more powerful computer, with a "new, improved" operating system and twice the amount of RAM, is noticeably more sluggish on these really basic tasks.
My next step is to go to the Apple store and try to compare mine to some other MBPs...
I have issues with some developments at Apple recently. For instance, the gen 2 iPod shuffle strikes me as a perfect design. Does it need to be smaller? Moving the controls to the headset seems really weird to me, much less convenient than the old one. I know that comment is OT, I just am starting to wonder about some decisions at Apple.
Not enough to make me complain seriously... I still vastly prefer Apple to the other options. But that sense I had for years that somebody really smart is paying attention to all these details and getting them right... that's starting to fade away for me. On the other hand, I do not have an iPhone and I think it's clear a lot of Apple's resources are going into the iPhone these days.

Problem Installing Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2010 in my laptop ( OS: Windows 8.1 64bit )

hi staff of microsoft or anybody,
I have problem installation of VS pro in my laptop windows 8.1 (64bits) using web installer and offline unzipping iso. BTW i have VS 2013 installed in my computer at the moment. Before i
upgrade from windows 8.0 to 8.1 , i used to have VS PRO 2010 but after installing VS 2013 it was uninstall automatically,
I keep getting this popup of error: DDSet_Error: Internal error: 1009 ( while installing Visual Studio 2010 Professional ) . Could somebody tell me what is the solution because i need VS 2010 for my project. thanks in advance for anybody who could
provide me the solution , thanks a lot

Hello SuperWeb,
I have checked you logs and find something which may related to this issue:
1. WIN64DUALFOLDERS: Substitution in 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.vspGridControl.dll' folder had been blocked by the 1 mask argument (the folder pair's iSwapAttrib member = 0).
2. Assembly Install: Failing with hr=80070005 at RemoveDirectoryAndChildren, line 396
The folder substitution is blocked and the RemoveDirectoryAndChildren meet access denied in your setup. May I ask a few questions:
1. Do you have admin privilege and have you run your setup with admin
2. Do you have any ant-virus software installed on your OS which may blocked Visual Studio from installing?
I will recommend u refer to this blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-errors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx
You can then run a script to give all your folders and registries admin permissions. Let's see if you can install your setup after that.
By the way, the checksum can be checked by using this tool from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
However since I cannot download ISO from DreamSpark as I'm not a student, I cannot help you verify it. Please contact your vendor to know the exact ISO hash number. A good ISO is required before you start the install process.
Best regards,
Barry

Windows 7 OEM and a new MacBook Pro

Ok, I guess this is a common question.
Basically can I use an OEM version of Windows 7 x64 on my new MacBook Pro (that I just got). I only intend to install it and use it on this computer.
http://www.elive.co.nz/microsoft-windows7-home-premium-64bit-sy1813.php
I was going to buy this one, would this work. I basically want windows just for a couple of programs that aren't mac compatible.
I am mainly double checking so I don't mess anything up and I also was checking about the product I was going to buy from that website because I read somethings about system builders OEM's vs standard and I wasn't sure what would apply.
Thanks in advance.
