Hi James, Virtualising does the job for most things, although once the novelty wore off I started to find the slight lag in performance irritating. If I was doing something where I needed both OS's to be available to use simultaneously I used to split the ram right down the middle. For more intensive tasks in Windows where you're not also relying on Leopard being smooth to use I'd assign 1.5gb to Windows for the duration of what needed to be done.
In the end however, I install boot camp and tend to use that for any remaining Windows stuff I need to do purely because the performance hit virtualisation had and the slightly better driver support in boot camp won me over. For me, most of what I'm in Windows for now is music/audio creation and editing, some fairly intensive stuff for any computer, so your mileage may vary. hth Scott On 7/22/09, James & Nash <james.austin1...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > This is a question for those on the list who use their MBps to run Windows. > When I get my new Mac, I will need to run Windows for my new potential job. > How does the 2GB of RAM do the job and how much of the GD do you generally > give up to the virtualization software? > > Thanks > > James > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
