I need help to find drivers for windows XP professional 64 bit. I have a late 2008 aluminum unibody macbook that runs snow leopard, windows 7 and windows XP 64 bit. Could someone please help me or create a driver package or something. Thanks
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Therer never were drivers for 64-bit XP.
Windows Vista is EOL too.
Windows 7 64-bit will be fine and 99.9% of software works just fine.
XP can run in VM: VirtualBox, Fusion, Parallels or XP Mode in Windows 7
Is there individual drivers from websites (nvidia geforce drivers for XP 64x)
Even a PC there weren't a lot of 64-bit XP drivers and you need motherboard HAL (hardware abstraction layer).
Some have managed and gotten 80%.
XP 64-bit was more of an experiment. XP SP3 is not supported. Vista supported closed. And you want an unsupported vulnerable OS.
Try the Consumer Preview of 8.
I need XP because it is the only x64 platform that will support windows 95 games easily. Anything higher than XP and the games wont come out properly. Ive tried windows 8 and it's too unstable.
8 on a clean install has been.... rock solid.
Once in awhile I admit the graphic driver does a "recover" and momentarily the screen flashes. Mac Pro and two PCs. DP was more iffy. But then I don't use a lot of games or old software on it.
As I said, Apple never supported XP 64-bit. Can't change that.
I know apple doesnt support it but start with the little things. I read in a form that someone had the audio drivers from retek for XP x64 but i forget what site that was.
Like I said I have OSX, 7 and XP 64. I use OSX for mac stuff, 7 for new games that would crash 8 (and result in the blue screen of death. Been there and tried it) and XP is for the older games.
Well, you are stretching what your laptop can handle as far as partition maps.
And you knew you would need to Google some...

ALL MacBook Pro models suffer from heat under Windows as the fans are not controlled properly by the OS, by the SMC and the newest MBP run even warmer with i7 processor and gpu.
I would assume you've troubleshooted drivers, RAM, heat. Things that go bump in the nite.
I have to concur with this from Softpedia:
Considering the advances in terms of stability introduced in Windows 7, and assuming that they will continue in Windows 8, especially around driver errors, the overall reliability of the next generation of the Windows client should only increase.
Having run Windows 7 on multiple machines, including all my home computers, I have to say that BSODs have become somewhat of a rarity. I sincerely cannot remember the last time one of my computers crashed with a Blue Screen of Death.
All the hits I got were old, very old and not from CP. Good luck.
