Parallels on the new MacBook??

[id-sign]

Looking to buy a Macbook but want to make sure that Parallels will run on it- don't see why it wouldn't...

Anyone try it yet?

 

[fowler.]

yes it does

No it doesn't. Boot Camp was made for PowerPC processors... (I'm sorry, I just want to confuse the newbies)

Virtualization

I too am interested in running Parallels on a new MacBook. Does anyone know if the hardware virtualization support is enabled on the MacBook. I gather it isn't on the Mini - which makes things very slow.

I would imagine the Mac Mini running Windows XP alongside Mac OS X wouldn't be much of a thrill regardless. I use Boot Camp, however the things that I use Windows for require all my ram and processing power, so Parallels wouldn't be much use to me.

The MacBook should be fine on Parallels as far as I know.

I have installed Windows 2000 Pro using Parallels and it runs fine on my stock macbook 2GHz.

It isn't supposed to be, but apparently some Minis have virtualization turned off. You may find these of interest - link and link
