On a second partition using bootcamp, of course! Wink
This is a white intel macbook, early 2008 I believe (model 4,1)

It's actually all going quite well!
My OSX disk wouldn't install the drivers, saying that my macbook didn't support the 64 bit operating system. Of course what they mean is that apple doesn't want me to install a 64 bit operating system on my mac. Only on a macbook Pro.

Fortunately if you go into the disk in the drivers folder, its all there. The only thing I had to go looking for on the net was the vista 64-bit Realtek audio driver. It says it supports 7, in fact most vista drivers will work on 7, which is how I got them all on, because the drivers on the OSX disk (being a few years old now) are for vista and XP64 bit.

As related to my post in the offtopic section, any core-2 processor is 64-bit (at least I think it is all of them).

So if anyone is thinking of trying it - it should go mostly fine. but you will need to go hunting for drivers - but they may be closer at hand than you at first think.

the way Quick-Links work on the taskbar now kinda reminds me of the apple dock.

I am having trouble typing on here. I've had the same problem on a fresh media-centre XP load, but basically every time I write a characher in this box, it jumps all over the place, ending up at the top, so you can only see what you are writing for a split seccond.

I haven't tried installing any KORG drivers yet, I have a feeling that won't go so well, but I will post back here once i've tried it.
