Parallels just posted their latest build (Build 3120) for download here (dmg). The new version boasts a lot of improvements, including better USB support for web cams, external hard drives, printers and scanners, virtual CD/DVD drives ("Burn CDs and DVDs directly in virtual machines, and play any copy-protected CD or DVD just like you would on a real PC"), improved Coherence and Boot Camp support, and bundled "Transporter RC" plus lots of bug fixes. In related news, Parallels Desktop won the MacWorld Expo 2007 "Best in Show".

Thanks Kevin Duerr.

Zachary - Shame on you for not googling it.

Set the kernel to load with "agp=off". You can then use more than 512. I'm using Fedora with a GB in a VM right now.

The major issue I have is that it doesn't support Linux installs with more than 512 MB of RAM. So my Kubuntu VM is stuck using about 1/2 to a 1/3 the RAM I want to give it.

As much as I love Parallels, hopefully with this release, Transporter ACTUALLY WORKS!

They're monsters, I love the Parallels team. Release early and release often.
