Thanks for reply. Your answer makes it a little clearer. An employee
at the local Apple Store further informed me while in Parallels the
memory is split 50/50 so if I wanted to use it, wouldn't be too bad.
I
maxed out RAM at purchase and have 3 gigs.
The main reason I am thinking of Parallels in addition to Boot Camp
is
that I like Windows 98 SE and would want to run it. Boot Camp as I
understand it will only take Win XP (SP2 ?) and certain versions of
Vista. Only going by what I've been told. And, I'd have to buy the
full retail version. Around $200.00 ? Whereas I have the full
software for MSDos 6.22 @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Win 3.1, 95 B and 98 SE with _ ALL the
security patches up to Jan 2006 from MS on seperate CDs.
I like the learning process and may in time try out at least one of
the smaller Linux OS.
Thanks again.....
