hryamzik Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 My config is amd 3200+, radeon x1600pro 256 pci-e, 1g in dual chanel. I have serious problems with system performance when I run windows in parallels. Is it the problem of foreign CPU type or I simply need an x2?

hryamzik Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Parallels are mach more comfortable, and I don't think the diference in performance would be radical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taruga Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Parallels utilizes the Intel chip’s hardware virtualization technology (VT) (if supported) to speed things up I have a cpu with VT and the difference is huge http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hryamzik Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 I know about intel vt and that intel is just more native for osx then amd. So the question is could the x2 drammaticaly change the situation or changing the platform is the only issue? I'm about buying a powerbook, so investing money in a pc desktop doesn't look tasty at all. But I won't install win as a home os. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
