    Buying Windows for a Macbook

    My mum was given a macbook the other day but she needs windows installed on it.

    Is there a specific version of windows i would need? I know when i built my dual cpu machine i got stung because certain versions only recognise one cpu so just trying to avoid the same happening again.

    Also how do i know if i need 32 or 64x. Is it as simple as if she has less than 3gb ram then 32 and if more 64x?

    At ocuk they seem to have a 64x oem for £75 or a full version fpr £95. It looks almost like the full version has both versions on it whereas the oem is specific.

    I thought its meant to be a piece of piss.

    Bootcamps already installed so i thought its just a case of installing windows through that.

    No offence bud, but everything you touch turns to crap (wireless router for example)

    Can you tell me exactly what kind of macbook is it ? Cos' I've got Windows XP installed on my *old* Macbook Pro and I never had any problem with it ... Except it's getting too hot after 1 hour of use, but as for every macbook I guess.
