Nadeo Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Even with my Hackbook it wont install! It shows a massage wich tells me that my machine is not able to "virtualize" or so.

jreate Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Parallels needs a processor that supports Virtualization Technology. Most apple Macs ship with intel processors that support VT, which are considerably pricier. If you want on the cheap, you can go with a used intel pentium D 9xx series that supports VT, or here is a list of newer core 2 duos that support it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....amp;srchInDesc= Unless AMD adds VT tech, it wont work.

lenesu Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I actually got to start windows xp sp3 through Parallels 4 without virtualization support on my Athlon X2 4400+ but its very very slow.

Nadeo Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 My Processor should be able to run this application! I found many informations that my T5750 supports VT - in cos that is a new processor. not older than a year! any help to activate vt on acer bios? there is no option Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136554-parallels-4/#findComment-967472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemes Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Unless AMD adds VT tech, it wont work.AMD has a virtualization technology, Pacifica, aka AMD-V. However VT and AMD-V are not instruction-compatible technologies, so companies must code for each of them. Parallels for Linux supports both, but clearly they yanked AMD-V support for the Mac version (no AMD processors, no need to include it and add one more thing to the QA list).

SaYnT Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I had no issues installing Parallels 4. I was running JaS 10.5.4 updated to 10.5.5 with a Q6600. I have both fusion 2 and parallels installed and for stability, fusion is better. Parallels has some really great features and can customize a lot of settings but it just wasn't very stable. Application crashes, and if you tried to enable all 4 cores on of the cpu for the VM it would bring the host to it's knees with the host using all the cpu.

Detosx Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Why do people keep saying use Fushion, Fushion, Fushion! VirtualBox is much faster, with XP, and it's free; by faster I mean faster than the previous version of Parrallels. No, it's not quite as stable but if you backup regularly, and use Windows on only an occasional have-to basis, it's about as reliable as... as the whole MS Windows situation ever is! The latest version of Parallels won't run on my Core 2 Duo, so I felt a few moments of hardware envy and then just let it go. For your occasional forrays into archaic but glossy nightmare, use VirtualBox or... Fushion!
