[QUOTE="redwolf4k, post: 1009683, member: 145838"] So how does virtual box do performance wise compared to Parallels? I used parallels before on a friends macbook, a while back, running xp, and the speed was suprisingly fast IMO. I heard they have good DX support as well. I have seen the free Virtual Box, and it looks quality. But is it slower? I was thinking of taking advantage of the student pricing for windows 7, and setting up a virtual machine.. It would be purely for fun though....because OSX can handle anything I want to do... I really have no reason for it, except for the wow factor lol. [/QUOTE]
