If this goes in a software thread, let me know (it's kinda a hardware and software question). I have a MacBook pro with tech specs as follows:
1. 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2. 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
3. 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
Will my Macbook pro be able to support Windows 7 with Parallels 5? I know parallels.com hardware requirements are as follows:
1. Mac Computer- Support for any 32- or 64-bit Intel®-based Mac.
2. Processor- Support for any 32- or 64-bit Intel® Core Duo processor featured in new Intel® Macs.
3. Memory Requirements- 1 GB of RAM (2 GB recommended to run Windows Vista and 7). Support for any memory configuration (up to 16 GB), without modifying your host system.
4. Disk Space- Software Installation — 450 MB of available hard drive space for Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac installation (plus space to allocate to your virtual machine).
So I know what parallels.com requires, but I want to know from people who had first hand experience with running Windows 7 with Parallels 5 or having my MacBook pro's hardware.
