[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1214221, member: 71075"] It gets hot because you have to use a lot of system resources. Remember, you're running two operating systems at the same time. Just remember to run your MBP on a hard, clean surface to allow for good circulation. I don't use Parallels but I know for a fact that the VM, when running, is a separate process from VirtualBox. You can quit VirtualBox while the VM is running and the VM will still keep going. Are both the VM and Parallels closed? If so, open up Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities) and take a look to see what's using up your resources (both CPU and RAM). If you'd like clarification on what you see, you're more than welcome to post a screenshot of AM open so we can help you out. [/QUOTE]
