Ok so I downloaded VMware Fusion and was able to install Xp Pro without a problem but I would rather have Vista well I tried installing Vista but everytime I am about 1/4 the way done installing Vista I get the Your computer must restart problem, where I have to power down my computer. How is it I can install Xp Pro and not Vista? Any suggestions?

So should I choose Patch all cpuid's using cpuid file?
still having the same issue after I patched the file. I keep getting the "your computer needs to restart… grey screen." I thought that only popped up when there was an issue with a network adapter. Any suggestions?
I tried that but I get "Parallels cannot be installed on this computer make sure your system meets the requirements"
sweet that was a lot easier than another option I was trying. Hopefully this will work. Should I still patch Parallels before trying to install Vista Ultimate?
ok thanks for your help DoiX I am attempting to install Vista right now hopefully this works without me getting the "your computer must restart error" hah

patch vmware with marvins amd utility, theres quite a few cpuid's to be patched.. I had trouble with vista x64, but vista x86 worked fine
yes, but you must first run "creat patcher package, and run it on the hdd that you installed to

64 bit wont work without a host operating system thats 64 bit and until they hack a kernel for us it wont be.
That's not really true, I'm able to use Ubuntu 64 bits without any problems.

Yeah, I use VMWare to boot my XP x64 partition (Recognized as a Boot Camp Partition) some times.
modify the info.plist file
[cite] eddie11c: TestObject GenuineIntel Just change this to look like this: TestObject AuthenticAMD
depends on your system on mine it worked without using marvin's utility
