I wish to install Windows 7 in Virtual Box on my Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5. I have a few queries on how to do so as this is my first time using VB.
1. Should I use a 32-Bit Version of 7 or a 64-Bit one?
2. How do I go about installing Windows 7 on the virtual machine?
3. Any other things (drivers/software) I should install to make it stable?
And I'm using one of those torrents, so it would most likely come out as a iso disk image (I think... please correct me if wrong)
Thanks a lot!

Thats a good Joke: "Pre Beta" and "made it stable"
Dont know if you have 64 Bit Mac OS and AMD VT is enabled. But i think 32 Bit is the better solution.
But dont expect to much. Its a pre Beta linke the name says, its not supported at the moment.
Use the search function, you will find several threads with windows 7 problems. At the moment there cant be any support for this.
It may work. If not, dont ask, delete the pre beta.
