Sorry about that, wasn't sure where to post the topic. Well basically I've got an Intel GMA 950 graphics card running at the moment cos I can't use my Nvidia one. I've tried out VMWare Fusion and it runs quite well but has parallels 3 got a lot more to offer? I'm running Intel Core Duo 2.0GHZ and 4GB of ram so I'm not restricted there. Any advice will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i've switched from parallels to VMWare.Fusion, man am I glad! Everything just seem to work better, i have some clients using CorelDRAW and being the ONLY package in Windows i need, I installed win2000 and loaded Graphics Suite X3 on top of it. WOW, it moves faster than my original build! I also run it in "Unity" so I don't see the rest of Windows and I could load my Dell specific printer and can now actually scan, copy fax, and print definitely the best for me!

marliwahoo Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Speed tests show Fusion faster with Vista and Parallels faster with XPEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corel is the main program we use at work, nice to know it runs so smoothly! How big are the graphic files you're using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
