I have both products. I really like vmware fusion however I use it on my quad mac pro with 8 gig of ram. So I definatle see the performance benefits Of fusion over parallels.
Now that Ive said that since you are using a MacBook original I would strongly suggest you stick with parallels. The upgrade to 3 I feel is worth it. How long ago did you purchase it! You might qualify for a free upgrade. I recieved a free upgrade after submitting some code to them for a better way to open office documents originally on the macintosh side and the open in office 2007 on the windows side which they included in 3.
