[QUOTE="sixslinger, post: 338767, member: 19856"] You can allow parallels to "have" a certain amount of ram. I have 2gb of RAM as well, and I give parallels 512mb. When running parallels, I also have almost no free RAM, so this is not unusual. Remember that parallels takes 512mb for windows, and also takes RAM for itself.....so the bottom line is that parallels uses a whole lot of your memory. If you are running parallels on a continuous, or frequent basis, then i would recommend going to 3GB. [/QUOTE]
