I recommend referencing this guide as a basis. Those that get it to work, please email me your computer specs so I know which models are functional. I don't know if 32-bit needs this much help to get it to work. PLEASE NOTE that this is for Windows 7 64-bit. I’ll update this guide as feedback comes in. As for the prior models which are the Intel Core Duos from early 2006, this may work, but I don’t know if the older processors will prove to be problematic, but the video card should work. I assume that models MA609LL and MA611LL (2.1Ghz on the 15.4” and 2.33Ghz on the 17”) will work fine with this guide. The model # I have is MA610LL, the 2.33Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 15.4” with an ATI mobility Radeon X1600. I decided to modify a guide that I found detailed but not sufficient for my needs. The primary difference with my computer (including earlier MBPs) and the ones beyond was the switch to the nvidia chipset. My computer fell under that category, being the second edition (late 2006). Through my discoveries I found one major flag, that Apple didn’t support prior late 2007 models.

Albeit to say, even the most detailed how-tos neglected to state hardware requirements.

So I’ve read on how Windows 7 could be installed on a MacBook Pro, with many how-to instructions. The following is a How-To guide to install Windows 7 build 7077 圆4 on an earlier version of a MacBook Pro with an ATI X1600 graphics card:
