[QUOTE="bmcgonag, post: 415854, member: 29816"] Just clean up any extra files that you don't need to keep occasionally...but you won't really see any major slowdown except in boot time....and that is only a little as you add alot of stuff to the drive and it begins to get full. If you run parallels, absolutely, but some windows files will open in OS X under similar apps...pdf, html, .doc, .xls, .rtf, .txt, picture files, movie files, etc. I've used parallels with great results, but depending on the machine, you may notice some slowing, as well as depending on the app you are trying to run. I have a macbook pro, and an iMac, so can't compare straight to a macbook, but I think you'll be pleased, and there is always bootcamp if you really, really need the extra speed. yep, except maybe Firewire. Not sure on that one. [/QUOTE]
