Mac mini 32 bit or 64 bit?

My Mac Mini is mid 2011 and looking to put windows 8 on a boot camp partition. Does the Mac Mini support 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows?

Your Mac mini supports both, but Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8 at the moment (although I see some new MacBooks Pro that can run Windows 8 now).


I recommend you to wait until Apple releases new drivers, so you will get the best performance of Windows 8. If you can't wait, you can install it on a virtual machine that you can create with Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, or you can also install Windows 7
