How to allocate RAM on Parallels windows

Hi folks,

I have a mac notebook which has 2Gb RAM. I installed windows with Parallels software and alloacted 1Gb for Mac OS and 1 GB for windows OS. I want to install virtual PC 2007 in windows OS. Hows is the RAM divided when I am using virtual PC between Mac OS, Windows OS and virtual PC.


Thanks for the replies....

OS X - 1GB
Windows - 1Gb

Virtual PC will have however much is left from 1GB after running Windows to run with.

I would not recommend "stacking" VMs. Performance will be terrible. Running them in parallel on Parallels would be preferable.

What is it you're looking to accomplish?

I can testify from personal experience that running more than one VM simultaneously on a Mac with only 2 GB of RAM is a bad move - it's slow and can be unstable. Either upgrade the memory to 4 GB (or more) or just run 1 VM at a time along with OSX. VMs are great and flexible but RAM is finite and can only be stretched so far without performance hits.

Cheers
