>I just bought a 13 inch Macbook (the 2.4GHz model). Lauren thinks you are not cool. Are you feeling deprived?
>I need to run a few Windows programs so I guess I will >need VMWare Fusion or Parallels. >I checked the reviews on Amazon and Fusion had better reviews, but the Mac >Genius at the Mac store liked Parallels best. The answer is *it depends.* The answer you get will depend on who you ask and what you need it for. Fusion appeals more to geeks for various obscure reasons. If you just want to run a few Windows programs the Mac Genius gave you good advice, get Parallels. For nice side by side reviews see: http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.25/25.04/VMBenchmarks/index.htm l and http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/10/22/43TC-parallels-fusion_1.html >will need to buy some more RAM. I thought the sales associate told me that >the Macbook is expandable to 4GB Memory. Try it with 2GB. More RAM does not necessairly help and actually slows down launch time. And don't forget that things run better under XP than Vista. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
