iMacME Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Can I install Parallels on my Hackintosh and make it use my already existing Win2k3 partition that I've set up in my dual boot? Both Win2k3 and x86 10.4.8 already co-exist in working order on my computer.

munky Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 There will be a performance hit. Whether its 'significant' is entirely up to you. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41683-parellels-w-windows-partition/#findComment-298225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
errandwolfe Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 The more RAM you have the better Parallels will run. Running on my intel specs in my sig, I am able to run XP in Parallels, then on the mac side run Firefox, iTunes, Azareus, Adium, and even play World of Warcraft. I would say my XP runs about 80% of true native speed.
