well, since winxp lag in your system, and i bet vista will be even worse. Good luck to you anyway.

Btw, if want "uninstall" winxp, just delete the winxp .hdd in your mac username folder.

Okay, thanks for all the input. I did it already. I am using 512MB RAM (256MBX2). I am now installing the Vista but through Boot Camp instead of Parallels and I deleted the XP. The maximum that I could assign to the generic RAM for Parallels for XP was only 192MB. I couldn't move the slider anymore and when I did and try to save the setting they say I have exceeded the maximum recommended by Parallels.

are you using macbook? If yes, that's more hopeless cos' of shared memory of your GMA950. I suggest at least 1Gb ram for any virtual pc (vmware or parallels)

Perhaps time to buy more RAM if you want to dual run 2 OS in Parallels.

Alternatively, you could bootcamp. This should be much faster..

Yep. Just go for bootcamp.
