Yes - DVD in, boot and enjoy (maybe you need to hold the key down on the keybord to make the machine boot from DVD - do not remember which, however - it is a Mac thing.) No, the disk drive was formatted already - but if it were not - Win 7 could have done it - as far as I remember. I think 2.1 is the number of the current Bootcamp? my machine is the model having 2 x Xeox quads running at 2,8 GHz. I found out the hard way :-))))Įdit: Ah, and yes, I use Vegas Pro 9.0c 32 bit because of the plugins etc - but I do not note any limitations. note, however, that only Win 7 pro and ultimate supports the 2 physical processors. When I throw a handfull of rendering jobs on it all 8 CPU's hum along at 100% CPU usage - and I can still work without really noticing that the machine is so heavily loaded (got 8 GB RAM). Some of the hardware must be uninstalled (in the Hardware Device Manager) after the first Win 7 installation and then reinstalled with the proper drivers as it seems that the drivers supplied on-line by the Win 7 installation are not the right ones. The drivers? all I needed I just found on the driver-download-pages of the hardware suppliers. This is possible as Windows 7 supports the 'new Bios' EFI installed in the Mac Pro. I also have the 2 x quad Xeon Mac Pro - and when I installed Windows 7 64 bit on it I just did it directly from the ISO-DVD without using BootCamp at all.
