[QUOTE="msshain, post: 620272, member: 51531"] I have installed Parallels connected to a Windows Vista BootCamp partition on a Macbook Intel Core 2 Duo w/4Gb memory installed. When I tried to test out the Windows response rate in Parallels by running the pre-installed Vista card games, they came up very slowly and the programs were squirrelly and not really operable. I changed the configuration in BootCamp to maximize the Video Memory at 64Mb, but it did ameliorate the running of the programs. I have not tested a whole lot to see if there are problems with other programs. I did run the Windows Open Office program and it seemed to work fine. Do I need to change the Video Memory settings in Parallels also? What other settings and things can I possibly change or do to make the all the Windows programs work properly? The installed card games on Vista should not be too video intensive should they? [/QUOTE]
