[QUOTE="cfpendock, post: 1318582, member: 220876"] Thanks. I should have said that my main requirement is to be able to open and work on many existing projects which were created on the XP system - otherwise I would happily go the mac route. Slow performance is what I mean by poor graphics, interestingly not on the Corel but on MS Powerpoint with moving graphics taken from the Corel. But I didn't explore the possibility of allocating more ram - I presume that is somewhere on the parallels tools? I have 4GB available which ought to be plenty. Perhaps I should use powerpoint for mac - if it will open my existing ppt files. I can try the trial version (Office for Mac) but my internet connection is not much more than dial-up speed so it can take many hours to download the 900 MB! I am also just a little wary of spending money on software when I am not sure it will give me what I want. I am not committed to parallels - I just tried the trial version which in all other respects was excellent. Why might VMWare be better? What a pity that the XP drivers aren't available! I would have thought there were many other people in my position..... [/QUOTE]
