Hi everyone,

I'm Silvio. I just have a basic question I want to run a windows 7 in a virtual machine to run Corel Draw Creative Suite 6 and Life Journal. I want to know which version of windows to get 64 bit or 34 bit. Also how much RAM should I allocate to run windows. My Imac has 6gb of RAM and runs Snow Leopard. Thanks.

In order to run Windows 7 in 64 bit mode in a virtual machine, you'll first need virtual software to support it. The latest versions of Parallels and Fusion both support 64 bit Windows but not all the features.

Also, Corel Draw Creative Suite 6 should run OK in 32 bit Windows 7. I don't know anything about Life Journal but I suspect it too will run in 32 bit Windows 7.
