Parallels Desktop on MacBook Pro

[macingosh73]

i personally like vmware better but they basically both do the same thing. cool vid btw

[MegaTechie]

yea true. but parallels has some different features. i actually switched to vmware a while ago

[ddmmmmdd]

is that bootcamp, or another parallels program?

[MegaTechie]

that is parallels desktop

I recently upgraded to leopard and am now using bootcamp running vista, as it support graphics acceleration, unlike parallels

better for games

Hey, I might get a mac in a couple of ... weeks months? I don't know but Im just sure I am.

And I heard that paralells now supports graphics acceleration is that true? Since I don't want to have to run Windows normally..

[MyWeners]

hey thanks for the help : ) i had just worked out how to do it and i was downloading msn when i got an email from youtube saying you had replied but thanks so much for taking the time to help me out man.

[MegaTechie]

Oh yeah, and under 'emulation', make sure 'shared networking' is selected.

[azx4442]

hey how do you get the internet to work on parallels? i can never seem to get it to work... please help?

[MegaTechie]

Sure, its pretty simple actually. When you open parallels and theres the white box on the screen, click on 'configuration'.

Then go to 'network adapter 1' and select 'enabled' under 'device settings'.
