Parallels update brings memory enhancements

Whoops, spoke too soon... sort of. The download on the "Read" link page is wrong, but the one from "latest Parallels release" isn't.

Interestingly, the link to download on Parallels page links to the 1922 release, but the link to download from macupdate links to the 1940 release.

@5: I'll take a look when I get home, but I think the guess drive can be created anywhere (you specify the location when creating your guest pc)

It might be worth noting that if you choose an 'expanding' disc image, then the guest drive takes up significantly less space on the real hard drive.

Also, you can create a really small drive, say, 4 or 5GB. Instead of using the Windows document folders, you can use the folders on OS X. Windows see's these folders fine after installing Parallels tools.

Can you set up a guest OS on a separate drive or does it have to be on the same drive that OS X is installed on. I wouldn't mind using an external drive just for WinXP, but I don't want it taking away from my 120 Gig internal MB Pro drive

@MikeCP: I'm glad i'm not the only person who installed BootCamp for only that reason as well!

Next version has 3d acceleration!!!

Can not wait to get rid of boot camp partition and play counter strike from within OS X.

I misread that! I've updated the post. Thanks.

Where do you get the idea you can have Leopard as a guest OS? Primary, sure, but not as a guest. Parallels cannot expose the TPM chip to any guest OS, and no version of Mac OS X can be installed as a guest.

I'm sure you can run Parallels on top of Leopard though.
