[Hidden-tech] Windows on a Mac

[Peter Hutchins]

I asked a similar question a few months back. The general consensus  
was that Parallels would be the best way to go since you can run both  
OSes at the same time, but that you should install the maximum  
possible RAM as running two OS simultaneously will be pretty RAM  
intensive.

For the record. I haven't tried either yet.
