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.

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.

you need mac os x 10.4.8 to use both cores on an amd dual core the only thing i cant get working is onboard audio...kinda sux but i bought an audigy ls and got that working so its all good...i dont see the big deal about Mac OS X is

yeah, i was running it single core for awhile, got onboard audio working by editing one of the .ktext's.

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.

I was installing Windows XP, and playing WoW at the same time with no slowdown...

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
