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?

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

So should I choose Patch all cpuid's using cpuid file?

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.

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??

try parallels :)

I tried that but I get "Parallels cannot be installed on this computer make sure your system meets the requirements"
