    Hello,

    I have a recently purchased Mac Book Pro which has a ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB SDRAM and was wondering if I could get a driver for XP while using it through parallels. Any chance I could do that? Or is the Parallels video driver my only option?

    Thanks!
    Brett :)

    You have to use the parallels video driver.

    If you need 'killer graphics', use BootCamp.

    When using parallels the system has a different set of hardware than when it is being used through BootCamp. You are only able to use the Parallels video driver through Parallels.
