There's actually a video on YouTube of a guy switching between OS X, Linux, and XP using the SmackBook function. It's amazing. I'd post a link but last time I was looking for it I couldn't find it. I'd just search "SmackBook" on YouTube.

I do, I only use Windows because a web application I need to use on my college website only works in IE. Thats the only thing I use Parallels for so i don't see a need to upgrade the ram for THAT specific reason.

You might want to give Crossover a try, it'll save you a ton of hdd space and probably run faster. Its still in beta so its not 100% stable, but if thats ok with out its worth a look



check it out. it makes a "bottle" so it works pretty much like any other app on your system

I already tried, I have to download some active x stuff to get it working right and Crossover doesn't like it.

ah. that would be a problem.

I was also kind of disappointed to see that , as far as I can tell, Crossover is running on windows 98 libraries...thats not very good. More and more things are made for 2000 and XP only, and some just XP. Though somehow they are getting those games to run, so who knows
