OS choice

[angusglover]

Brilliantly - Win XP Pro SP2 works like a dream on my Macbook using Parallels - and I can pretty much have any OS I like on there, and run them concurrently, share clipboard, drag-drop/convert files between them, and have shared folders. Best of both (or many) worlds.

You do need to fill the machine with Ram though.

The issue I had with Parallels was that it limits you to 32MB of graphics memory so no good for running graphic intensive apps on. For that I dual boot with XP using bootcamp.

Ah - my heavy graphics apps are in Mac OS, but isn't there an option to change the settings in the VM? Sure there's a way to change how much Ram, graphics memory etc it uses.

There is an option but only to 32MB. I also use MAC OS X for graphic intensive but having the option to do more in Parallels would be cool....especially for games...

That;s why I'm waiting for Parallels 3.0 to come out - http://parallelsvirtualization.blogs...esktop-30.html
