    Boot Camp 64 Enabler - Run Windows 7 64-bit/Boot Camp 64-bit On Unsupported Macs

    Boot Camp 64 Enabler Apple does not officially support running 64-bit versions of Windows on all Macs with 64-bit processors. No official Boot Camp installer for example will run on the Early 2009 MacBook 5,2 running Windows 7 64-bit. Boot Camp 64 Enabler allows Macs with a mobile Nvidia...
