[QUOTE="moggs, post: 436300, member: 32689"] it depends what you want to use Windows for... if you want to run 3d Windows games etc, you'll get far better performance from using Boot Camp and booting into Windows rather than trying to run them in a Parallels window... but if you don't need 3d performance, and want to be able to have both Windows apps and OSX apps running at the same time, and want to be able to switch between them, Parallels is the way to go I'd suggest downloading the Boot Camp beta for Tiger and giving it a whirl.. although it's beta, it's stable & easy to set up... you can also download a trial version of Parallels, so the best answer is: try em out now and see which is best for you [url]http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/publicbeta.html[/url] [url]http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/[/url] [/QUOTE]
