junausp Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Does Parallels works in a Hackintosh (Windows XP SP2) ???? Junior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Yes it does. I'm using the latest version and it is very responsive for the things I use it for. Using Lemony Subtitler, Photoshop CS3, Acrobat Pro, and Microsoft Office 2007 , you might not even realize you're in Parallels. Of course, as with all virtual OS's, the more ram you can throw at it the better. I devote the max 2GB for my system. I don't use my computers for games so I can't tell you how they would react. Give yourself enough space from the beginning and your life will be easier. I just expanded my virtual OS from 15GB to 20GB, but changing sizes after the fact isn't for the faint of heart.

Geeze Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 It works great on my machine. I still use XP SP2 for a few programs I can't seem to find a mac version for. What I would be curious about is can you install OSX86 on a windows machine running parallels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
