Fusion has worked fine for me on a MacBook Pro running with 2 Gb of RAM with Windoze XP installed. I don't run games in Windows which I understand can be a major game changer on RAM needs however. At 1:45 PM -0600 3/28/09, Fred Jones wrote: Fred Jones fredjone...@softhome.net Subject: VMWare

I initially created a BootCamp partition and installed XP within that. Only after that was running properly did I venture into installing Fusion and the Fusion virtual system was directed to utilize the preexisting BootCamp installation. I have no idea if that makes for a more stable virtual

I just bought a 13 inch Macbook (the 2.4GHz model). The Macbook came with 2GB of DDR3 Memory. I need to run a few Windows programs so I guess I will need VMWare Fusion or Parallels. Could you guys please let me know if one of those programs would be best and if I will need to buy some more RAM.

I like VirtualBox from Sun. It works really well, and it's FREE! http://virtualbox.org Oh yes that one. I don't know anybody using it. MacWorld's review says it is slow with OpenGL stuff and has an ugly interface. You centainly won't be losing anything by testing it. Parallels has a 30-day demo
