i am currently running on imac 20" (2.66Ghz intel core 2 duo with 4Gb ram) which normally left running 24x7 (once a week i restart) due to using uTorrent.

but because i also use parallel (version 5) to run window vista ultimate 32bit in coherence mode (which i set running at 2 processors and 2.5Gb ram) (mainly to use windows player as some video i cant use using quicktime player and planning to use to play starcraft 2 later), now always hang or very slow performance. if i upgrade to 6Gb ram (by replacing current 2gb with 4gb ram), would the performance be better? but 4Gb ram 1067mhz ddr3 already around RM500++....ideally i want to upgrade to 8Gb but too costly

any help? suggestion?

tarvalslain87 /viper-xs / dvlzplayground,

thanks for the advise.

yup, Parallel & Vista Ultimate 32bit not good combination running together.

However, too troublesome to restart in bootcamp everytime. too bad i already bought Parallel at RM299 and also Vista Ultimate is original copy (32bit & 64bit). Thought of testing n see how it perform. Now regretting as running Vista on Parallel affects performance very bad and cause hang in Mac as well. so, may have to get 4Gb RAM and see how lor sad.gif
