    I have the late 2007 imac 2.4ghz with leopard installed....i have xp on there now but i want to delete the partition, and install windows 7 beta on there instead

    first, is this even possible right now i have the latest update on parallels 4, the windows 7 program takes .iso, but will it install and run properly?

    and second, should i download the 32-bit or 64-bit version?

    any difficulty ill run into doing this and is it worth it?

    I'm running Win 7 on my Imac. works pretty well.

    be sure to select OTHER in Parallels when you set up the new VM or it will not work.

    Shared folders do not work but all else seems good.

    If you have Core Duo, you can run only 32bit, if Core 2 Duo also 64 bit
