[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 1285413, member: 48298"] Read both the stickies in their entirety - will answer most of your questions. Short answer is that your CS and photoshop applications may run better under boot camp than in a virtual machine; the other 2 should run fine in a VM. And yes, you need to install AV software in the VM like you would in any other Windows machine. How much memory you allocate depends on which Win version you install, whether it's 32 or 64 bit and how much RAM you have to start with and how much you want to leave for OSX while your VM is running. You can change the allocation so I would experiement a bit and not stress about it so much for the install. Cheers [/QUOTE]
