- 15.4" MBP Core2 Duo, 2.33MHZ, 160GB HD, 2GB RAM, ATI X1600 256 MB
I have had my MBP for less than a week - I'm completely happy with it. I do have to run windows a bit for work programs, so I installed parallels and XP Pro last night - works without a hitch. However, in typical windows fashion, I had a few programs crash - no biggie - I'm used to it. What concerns me is the memory that parallels uses. When parallels was running I had 25mb free memory - that's with nothing open in windows but a browser. What happens when I try to install and run CS2? Will it take more memory and crash? The system did say there was approximately 900mb "unused", but only 25 available. Is this 900 reserved for programs within parallels? After closing parallels the available memory went up to about 700 or so.
Any ideas? Do I have to upgrade to 3GB? Seems like overkill but who knows...
Thanks
