    I'm running Windows XP and I'm trying to find my memory sweet spot and I have a question.
    In the Parallels Preferences there when you set the memory to say 700MB then in the VM memory settings it says the maximum recommended amount is 600. Why is it 100MB lower? Is there a good reason for this or should I just make these two equal?

    100M is reserved for Paralells itself - code, data, caches and so on.
