[Hidden-tech] Intel Macs

[Matthew Crocker]

I have a MacBookPro,  2 Gigs RAM running OS X.  I also have Parallels  
with XP Pro installed.  Everything works great.  XP runs great but  
the video is a bit slow (not for gaming).  I'm also beta testing  
Codeweavers Office (Wine for OS X) running windows apps natively.  It  
works ok for most stuff and is getting better quickly.

I only use XP for some Java apps used to manage some of my network  
gear.  Everything else is OS X native or run under Codeweavers.

If you plan on running 2 OSes at the same time make sure you get a  
LOT of RAM.
