Running a bootcamp partition in a VM would require either exactly emulating the specific Mac model you were running on (nice idea and welcome if they can do it, but a HUGE task), or selectively replacing every incompatible file in the bootcamp image with one that worked with the emuated hardware, and putting the originals back on exit so you could boot bootcamp. The drivers and HAL would be incompatible with the emulated machine. for the actual Mac hardware, not the emulated hardware Parallels provides. hdd file and the physical partition would be bit for bit indentical in the two cases.Ī bootcamp partition, OTOH, would have drivers, HAL, etc. hdd file would have been if you had used that option, including drivers for the emulated (not real) hardware. The content of the partition will be exactly the same as the content of the. The MB and MBP are NOT designed for continuous high percentage CPU utilization and will overheat if you make long term demands on the CPU unless you supply airflow across the bottom of the machine.Ĭlick to expand.The difference between using a real partition and using a bootcamp installation is that using a real partition allows you to assign a physical partition as a VM hard disk, and install the guest OS there.
Whatever you get, be sure to get one of those little laptop cooler platforms with the built in fans. I chose the 1.83 GHz MBP both to save some money and because I think it will run a bit cooler. VPC running on the PPC processor has to interpret at the processor level, and runs five to six times slower than native code because of the software emulation, so you should see about an order of magnitude speed increase from your old machine to the new one. With dual core in a MBP, you have one core for Windows and one for OSX and get excellent performance). (The 4x you see published is for dual core running OSX.
The Intel processor is roughly twice as fast as the PPC. You can order from Apple with 512 Meg, and upgrade to third party 2GB for less than the cost of 1GB from Apple. Click to expand.As another poster said, 2GB is a better choice.
