    Does parallels correctly handle large page support for processors that support it?

    I've run into a problem on my NetBSD -current machine that now enables large page support if the PSE flag is found. This is on Parallels for Mac on a Macbook.

    Do people have any experience of running other OSes with large page support?

    Hello Mjf,

    Parallels Desktop 3.0 and preceding versions do not have Large Page Support. Parallels supports 32-bit Guest Operating Systems and Large Page Support works for 64-bit applications. Our developers are working to provide 64-bit support in future Parallels Desktop versions.

    With best wishes for a Happy New Year,
    Xenos

    Hmmm, this is truly unfortunate. I gave up on VMWare due to integration issues between OSX (Leopard) and Fusion. I thought I'd give Parallels a try. For the time being I am cooked as I need to run both 64-bit and 32-bit guests. Whoever gets there first with a reliable solution will get my business!
