[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 983167, member: 140470"] Whether you use Parallels or Fusion they both in a sense divide your computer into two computers which means that you can't use your computer to it's fullest power on either Mac or Windows. This is usually not a problem unless you are using intensive programs such as the latest video games at the highest graphics settings. This is why Boot Camp was invented so that you can boot into Windows rather than dividing your computer's power with Parallels. Although like I said for most people this is not an issue because most likely you are going to run non-intensive software. The trick I've learned is to not give Parallels/Fusion more system resources then it is necessary to run your Windows software. Giving it too much resources will slow down your computer because you Mac still needs some in order to work well. Upgrading to more RAM will help. I use Fusion with XP by the way but Parallels is good too. [/QUOTE]
