Just FYI for those looking for a Snow Leopard compatible version of Parallels - the latest 5 beta will give you kernel panics anytime you use more than 2gb of memory on your host OS, even when you're not running the program.

 

Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer for SL-safe virtualization software...

Works fine on my system with 4 GB allocated to the VM and running Syntheyes using 3.2 gigs of ram. Using Windows 7 64 in VM.
Odd - I got kernel panics whenever I hit past the half way point in my 4gb system - either in Parallels, Photoshop or using synthetic RAM tests. the only fix was completely uninstalling Parallels, which stopped all the kernel panics.

Hi

I don't have kernel panics, but my computer performance is very poor since I installed parallels 5... Especially graphic performance... I have to try to uninstall it to see if it fix the problem...
