guys, lets say i install windows onto my mac now, and later on i replace leopard with snow leopard.. will my windows be affected in any way?

how exactly does the RAM thingy work when using Parallels? like now in windows, my system information shows 512MB RAM, while my overall RAM is 2GB, so does Parallels allocate 512MB RAM to windows leaving 1.5GB RAM to my mac or how does it work?

hmmm if you're replying me, then i dont think that answers my question..

anyone know?

question for parallels desktop users, do you guys install windows straight onto parallels or do you guys create a virtual machine for the boot camp partition?

i didnt install mine through boot camp, which means i can't just run windows right like i can through boot camp?

secondly, is it recommended to do the "run parallels compressor" thingy? i did it (ran manually), everything there was ticked.. and now when i start windows i get this "your minimum memory is too low" popup.. think i made a bad mistake by going through it..

what do you mean bootcamp CD? bootcamp is already pre loaded in all intel macbook/macbook pros isnt it?

you mean Parallels or VMware?

Parallels is the more popular one i think, VMware used to be better but now not so..

you can't exactly compare beteen Parallels and Bootcamp, Parallels enables you to run your mac and windows side by side.. however Bootcamp is built into your system and allows you to run either mac or windows..

for gaming it is recommended to use Bootcamp so all your resource will be allocated to your windows for best performance..

hey, anyone know how to uninstall the virtual machine (my Windows XP) which is on parallels desktop?

i remember seeing Machines selling VMware fusion..
