Hi: Was hoping someone here can help me out ? I'm trying to install a WinXP VM on a macMini Parallels install and even after following the perf. config article at http://kb.parallels.com/entry/64/468/ it crawls and barely allows me to do anything on the host or guest OS. Any ideas will be incredibly useful. FYI, my macmini is a Core Duo 1.66 Mhz with 512 MB RAM and have configured my VM to have 192 MB RAM which is the max that Parallels will allow me to assign. Is it just a pure h/w config issue and does Parallels need more hp to handle a WinXP VM reliably ? Thanks.
