    I currently have windows xp pro running in the parallels beta and i just recently downloaded the vista RC2 64 bit version. Im almost positive that the core 2 duo processor is 64 bit but when i try to install vista in parallels it says "attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode" Any suggestions to get this working? I have a 24" iMac BTW so i know it is a core 2 duo. Thanks for the help

    Parallels does not virtualize a 64-bit processor yet. You'll have to wait for version 3.0, due early next year, for that capability.

    Shoot, so I would have to try and find the 32 bit version of vista?

    Yes. (And a few more words to make the posting engine happy)
