First time looking into this..few questions.

Hello, I'm looking into running the latest Snow Leopard Dual booted with windows 7 64 bit..first of all I have afew questions.


  1. Is there a 64 bit of Mac OS X to support more than 4GB of RAM (x64 not x86) If not thats fine
  2. Recommended ISO for installing on the specs I provided below (don't post the link, just the name/version number)
  3. How-to install.. I'm not certain ..I've looked around everyone for a installation guide, even the sticky, I'm not sure.
  4. Will it run on my system? (specs below)
  5. How do I install it on my Netbook (acer aspire 150) will all the hardware work for it?
  6. is there cake?

1. > 4GB
Yes, even Mac OS X 10.5 can use much more than 4 GB; 16 GB (4*4 GB) is no problem !!!!

OS X didnt have , like XP, Vista, Win 7 such lowend to highend OS Versions.
You get allinone : OS X is Home up to Ultimatex64 in ONE Version!!!
Only the Server Versions of OS X are different.
