Re: FAO Mac Owners

^^ Holy shit so you have 2 windows and you just switch back and forth between Mac and Windows ??

Screw PC, I'm DEFINITELY moving to Mac next year.

BTW do you have a link for this program / app Toasty ?

Re: FAO Mac Owners

I know with bootcamp you can only run one OS at time. So if you want to swap you need to reboot. With parallel ... I am not exactly sure. If you are buying an apple ... please wait Toasty. I have been following macrumors and there are updates coming ... probably when leopard comes out. I am also in the market for a Macbook or Mac Pro.

Thanks man. Definitely waiting for Leopard -- I've been reading up on it, too, and it looks like it ought to be due in the next few weeks.

Parallels allows you to run both at the same time -- a guy was sitting next to me at a meeting had it and was flipping back and forth. I was stoked, b/c I've always been a mac guy, but the realities of my job are that I need to be able to run Windows-based applications. Looks like now I can have both, just trying to figure out if I can get away with 1 GB or RAM or if I need 2.

Re: FAO Mac Owners

what chip set do you have Toasty?

well, I have no chip set right now at all. I was planning on buying either a MacBook or a MacBook Pro, and was trying to figure out if I needed to upgrade to 2 GB or RAM or not, or if 1 was sufficient...

Any of you running windows XP via Boot Camp or Parallels? I'm wondering how it runs with 1 GB of RAM. With parallels, how does it work if you have programs open in both OSs at the same time?
