Hi
Had my iMac now for 8 months and I really love it.
I installed bootcamp a few months ago as there is one programme (Magix Studio 10 Pro Video Editor) that I just can't do without. My question is, would I see any difference if I ran this application through Parallels rather than bootcamp. I have read through some of the posts and have noticed that 1 gig may not be sufficient to run some programmes and may even slow some software down. Not wanting at this stage to invest in more memory, I just wondered if I would be safe using 1 gig.
I have no problems really using bootcamp, but occasionally while using the Magix editor, I find that some of the pictures/songs etc. that I want to use in a project are on OSX, which means shutting down, opening OSX, copying items to my flash drive, shutting down again and opening in XP, and copying from the flash to my project.........this can be a bit of a bind!
Any help appreciated.
