Default BIOS, NBI, and OS X - 10-02-2011, 12:56 AM

I am about to dive into installing OS X on my 10v. I am running Win 7 Home Premium (7601:SP1). I will install OS X to dual boot using the following guide as a ...well,...guide.

Start-windows-add-os-x-guide-dual-boot.html

I need to ask for clarity:

1) My BIOS is A06. I see in newer posts that rolling back to a previous version is not necessary. Correct?

2) What version of NBI do I need to use?

3) What version of OS X should I buy?


Hopefully this is all I need to know.

A06 is fine, NBI 0.8.4 rc1 will do, 10.6.3 (or 10.6.0, but that's probably not on the shelves anywhere anymore)

i suggest you try the alternate method on the bottom, it's easier. also, i noticed on my other thread that you succeeded in installing SL already. wonder if you did a clean install after reformatting your drive. if so, the neat thing about Win7 is that you can add it as the second operating system (it doesn't have to be on the first partition); that's if you still intend on dual booting. there's information about it on the forum already so do a search for windows 7 snow leopard dual boot.. don't have the links handy.

cheers.
