    So I'm new here, and have searched all over but haven't been able to find info.


    I have a MBP 2.4ghz, 17" and want to put xp64 on it. So I haven't been able to get drivers for it.

    I tried nvidia, both the beta and the new geforce 8 series but neither worked.

    I have 4 gigs of ram and would like to be able to use it all.

    So does anyone have a list of compatible drivers for xp64?

    any help would be great,

    thanks
    chris

    it's a macbook pro. 2.4ghz 17" 1920X1200 screen.
    the newest 17" I think they consider it the 3rd generation one.

    I only found bootcamp stuff on apples site, which is xp32, not xp64.

    for example someone posted what drivers to get for a macpro to work under xp64.

    I'm just not sure where to find what components it has to get the appropriate drivers.

    thanks

    Apple only provides 32bit drivers. dont expect it to change any time soon. The graphics card drivers you might be able to find under www.laptopvideo2go.com can also use the intel chipset drivers for santa rosa can be found at intel.com. Others i dont know
