[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1174099, member: 11094"] I prefer VMWare for my purposes, though they are very similar products. VMWare typically has better promotions and finding it cheaper than Parallels is more likely. I'd install x64 providing there are no legacy apps you are needing to run. Oddly, Microsoft recommends installing MS Office 2010 x86 on x64 machines due to compatibility restraints. So what that tells me is that x64 is the future still. The nice thing with virtualization is you can have as many virtual machines you want. Install both x86 and x64. Run whichever you want, but the option will be yours at that point. [/QUOTE]
