[QUOTE="Watchdog, post: 582037, member: 47026"] Is Parallels powerful enough to run a game with these system requirements? 1.7 GHz processor 512 MB RAM DirectX 8 compatible video card I can move a little slider up to 1024 MB of RAM, I think. I have an Intel GMA 950 video card, which claims to be DirectX 9 compatible, but I'm not sure how that interacts with Parallels. My processor is a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Does Parallels set a limit on how much of processor power it can take up? I run a MacBook. The game I'm interested in is Valve's [i]Portal[/i], if that helps at all or if anyone has experience trying to run that on Parallels. [/QUOTE]
