[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 716829, member: 21101"] I'll take them in reverse order. You cannot run WinXP in Parallels. You can only use Virtual PC, but be warned, it will be slow. I would say the OS upgrade might be worth it, even just for browsing. Firefox 3 (which is quite a lot better than 2) needs at least 10.4 to run. With this in mind, it might be worth upgrading to 1GB of RAM and installing Tiger or Leopard. The latest upcoming flash player (10) will also need at least 10.4, and brings in some performance improvements. [/QUOTE]
