Thanks, Tom, I missed the question. Yes, it's a standard 27-inch iMac bought retail. I tend to use XP most and as far as I can see, it's almost identical (if not a tad faster) than it was on my Pentium 4 hyperthreading 3.1GHz PC with 4Gb of RAM, despite the fact that it's running virtually inside the Mac which also runs very crisply with just one virtual machine running. I can even drag and drop files from one OS to the other and do so when it's quicker to do something on the PC because I know how to do it, than learn how on the Mac. (Note to self: I mustn't let that prevent me from learning how to do it on the Mac). The drag-and-drop etc is courtesy of Parallels Tools. Parallels seems to be just brilliant.
