I use 64-bit Windows 7 Pro on my machine... but then I'm running under Parallels and not Boot Camp. But your computer is a 64-bit computer so it makes sense to use a 64-bit OS on it.

actually i have to use autocad and some engineers programs. Autocad is suitable for 64 bit but some eng. programs does not run 64 bit. fot this reason i have to set up 32 bit. Is it possible or not ?
Thank you
Check the link I provide in my previous post.
Yes, it's possible to just use 32-bit Windows. I wouldn't recommend Windows 8 if you want to keep your sanity - just get the Windows 7 Pro 32-bit package.

The answer is yes.
But the link is separated macbooks which uses 64 and 32 bit.
I'm not sure what you mean, but you can use 32 bit.
actually i didn't explain.
The link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 seperated mac models to use 64 or 32.
For example, a) MacBook Pro (Early 2011) and later : using 32 or 64 bit,
b) MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) and later : using only 64 bit
i undertand that if i will buy (b), i would not setup 32 bit.
i am sorry, i ask too many questions.
Thank you so much
You're welcome
