Price in Malaysia should be RM 289.00. Where else straight from Parallels website is only 79.99 USD which in RM should be around RM 250.00 but of course without the CD. I was purchased the Paralles Desktop 5 during 10 Aug , too bad i wasn;t in the list of free upgrade , however i wrote the email asking the free upgrade due to the date was not far away..I purchase thru online via their reseller called "Element 5 " I have try the latest PD 6 which i think the most faster start-up on Win7 at my MBP 15" This post has been edited by weileong: Sep 24 2010, 06:00 PM

oic. well since you'll be sharing resources then yes, it'll be a bit slower. im not sure how slow though, im using the same specs but only on win7 32-bit, runs fine for what i do
if u have a software that specifically needs 64-bit or implies that it needs at least 4gb ram, then bootcamp would be a better choice.

4GB of RAM and 2.4Ghz is sufficient to run Windows 7 without lagging but may I ask why you want to run it in 64bit?

Why would bootcamp a nightmare to microsoft? Mac with bootcamp means now more devices are supporting windows, it's not like people will no longer need to buy a windows to use windows

Hi. I was just wondering whether anyone is having any problems with connecting to the Internet via windows partition of Bootcamp. I successfully installed Windows 7 Ultimate with Bootcamp 3.1 but I have a persisting problem with my Internet. I am connected to the network but it states that : IPv4 Connectivity : No Internet access IPv6 Connectivity : no Network access Media State : Enabled
Also, my computer can't even find ANY networks if I don't put in a USB dongle. The dongle is a 54Mbps WL-U356L 802.11g Wireless Adapter from Planet.
I need to get the Internet connectivity problem fixed ASAP as I need to register my Windows since I have to go to Australia and this copy of Windows can only be registered in Asia. Any help, anyone? Thank you.
