I currently own a MacBook with OS 10.4.11 and my problem is that I want to also put Boot Camp 1.3 beta on my mac. The reason for this switch is that a game called Final Fantasy XI goes extremely slow on download and running while on xp through parallels and I don't understand why its moving so slow with 2gb of ram.
My first question is that is there a way to increase the speed of parallels so the PlayOnline Viewer (Final Fantasy XI startup viewer) can run faster and the game itself. Is there a way to dedicate more to it or turn off a lot of the mac side programs to make it faster?
My second question is that if there isn't a way to speed up parallels can I install Windows through Boot Camp 1.3 and not lose any of my current things on my computer. I would like to still run parallels and to also have the option for boot camp for my games.
My last question is that if there is a way to install both parallels and boot camp 1.3 is there a way to link both so that i do not have to partition another part of my hard drive for a second windows?And will Final Fantasy XI run as if it was on a normal Windows XP PC if I run it by boot camp?
I'm new to macs so not very good at them any help would be much appreciated but if you can provide a step by step process I would be much in your debt.
Thanks
