Wow.
Seriously. If you have a dual core intel mac, get parallels. You wont be disappointed.
I'll post screenies when I get more stuff installed. :Dhttp://img.techpowerup.org/061214/Picture%201.png

yeah, i was doing that at one time before my x300 fried. now i'm running sata raid and an nvidia gfx card, which means i need another hdd to boot and no quartz extreme or ci.
and it does take a bit of haxoring to get working.

yeah, I've run it on single cores a good bit...
but DAMN.
To unleash the real power of OS X you need atleast 2 CPU's.
:twitch:
I was installing Windows XP, and playing WoW at the same time with no slowdown... :toast:
Parallels then makes it so I dont even need to install the mac version of my apps.... such as CS2, dreamweaver and premiere.....
I'm set :)
