[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 374878, member: 21101"] I run Parallels Win XP SP2, retail version on a MacBook with 1gig of RAM and it is fine. I shaved off all the bloat from XP (so it runs looking like classic etc). 2 gigs of RAM will make it quicker though, as I limit XP to only 384MB of system memory. Parallels is fast, I am connecting to work right now via it. One thing - you could technically use an OEM version, i.e. it would install, but of course that would not be agreeing to the license terms and conditions, so I am sure you'll get the retail version instead...
