I have a MacBook 2.2 GHZ with 1 GB memory. I´ve installed XP using Paralells Desktop.. While running Paralells everything is TOOO slow. How much memory would u recommend?? Will things get better if I put one more GB in my machine??

Hope someone can help me here..

yes it will get better since you are trying to run OS X, Parallels and XP in just 1 gig

I'd definitely recommend more than 1GB to make the experience snappier. Also, watch how much memory you allot to the VM and which OS has dominance over resources. You might be able to improve it some without adding more memory.
