This page says my Macbook version (5,1 released end of '08) doesn't support Windows 64bit but "can use" it. This is pretty vague, am I going to run into issues down the road if I install the 64bit version? Thanks in advance

I personally have mid 2009 13" MBP. I have windows 7 x64 Professional installed, and it works great.

Whether Apple officially supports something does not have much association with whether it will work great or not.

  • Do you have something other than personal experience to back this up?

  • My experience has gone pretty well, a few minor issues such as display and keyboard lighting not turning off when dimming them all the way down to the minimal level.
