I heard about Boot Camp today and have no idea which version to download, any help?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Boot Camp is already on your machine, in Applications>Utilities.

Well that solves that mystery, thanks! XD
You're welcome 🙂
And ....
As you are new to Boot Camp and its mysteries I will advise you to make a complete backup of your Mac installation before you begin re-partitioning your hard drive.
I will definitely do so, thanks for the tip 🙂
Oh, and am I going to need to purchase a copy of Windows to run it?
Yes, you can use Windows Home or Professional, your choice, System Builder versions are cheaper but may only be installed on a single machine. Only use the 64 bit version of Windows.
Thanks again! 😀
Post back if you need any help installing, and take the time to read the Boot Camp documentation, there are a few common pitfalls that can be avoided that way. 😀
Actually, I think even if you have 64 bit Mac software, Boot Camp does not support 64 bit Windows.

And you are wrong, current versions of Boot Camp only support 64bit Windows, after all, the Mac is a 64bit machine.

Only some Macs support 64 bit Windows, click here for a complete list of them.

Why can't you be bothered to read what you post, or is it an understanding issue?
Every machine on your list is 64bit compatible, some are alse 32bit compatible.
Read before you post!

If you read the list and the text accompanying text, you would see that that was the point of the lists. Therefore, if your computer was not on the list, it would not support 64 bit Windows. I was not saying that the list had every single Mac that supported Boot Camp.

This is what you said, and it is wrong
All current Macs support and many require 64 bit Windows in Boot Camp. You are either misinformed or mendacious!

Two things:
I was saying only some Macs support 64 bit Windows for the benefit of people viewing this post. Many people do not have the latest Mac computer.
Also, I was misinformed at the time I wrote the above quoted post. I did further research and discovered my mistake, and posted a new reply.
