Hey I have a Macbook Pro and I need to run XP using Parallels for work purposes. My school sent gave me an copy of XP x64 version as well as the 32bit regular version. Since the Macbook Pro is a 64bit computer, should I go with the x64 version or the 32bit. I understand that the x64 version has more security features and allows you to run resource hogging programs more smoothly. However the downside to that is the fact that you have to have 64bit drivers for all your applications and peripheals. I am a graphic design major and most of my designing will be on OS X but I will be doing my regular work on XP. Also I will like to be able to use XP for video gaming and uTorrent. So, would I benefit from just using the x64 version or stick with the 32bit?
Also, can I use Bootcamp to install Tiger and use Parallels on the same machine? So in essence I will have Tiger via Bootcamp, OS X, and XP via Parallels.
Thanks!!
