Urbz Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 So yeah... title says it all! I want to know which one to get. For when I truly need power (which honestly shouldn't be very often) I will use Boot Camp. But otherwise, I want as much performance out of the virtual machine as possible. I will be running Vista. I hear that, for some tests, VMware is significantly faster than Parallels, but for others (like networking) the story is very different. I am heavily attracted to the whole Parallels Coherence thing because from what I've read, it really can be set up so that you wouldn't even suspect that Windows is running. I like that! I won't be using windows very often... like really, not often. I mean that. (lol) But when I will need it, it will be for graphics software (although we're not talking really heavy performance for this stuff... just CorelDraw), and web-stuff (Frontpage/Expression Web). I would love to use them without rebooting, and want to know which product is best for my needs under Vista: Fusion or Parallels? Also, which product in general has less impact on the processor or requires less resources? -Urbz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86437-is-fusion-noticeably-faster-with-vista-than-parallels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 For me Fusion Unity is far better than Parallels Coherence http://www.tuaw.com/2007/06/06/vmware-fusion-unity/ I have both, I prefer Fusion on many things. I had Vista on Fusion but never on Parallels.
