[QUOTE="dalison, post: 628999, member: 48611"] The MacBook Pro has a dedicated video card so the [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/experiences/aero.mspx"]Aero interface[/URL] should run ok. That's the prime culprit for performance problems, though you can run Vista in a basic UI mode that is less taxing if your system bogs down. I also highly recommend at least 3GB of RAM (I run 4) because Windows in a VM works much better with 1 to 1.5GB of RAM dedicated to it. [/QUOTE]
