Dual Platform Mac....

Parallels is great, I would go with that option since you have the hardware to do it.

Yeah how does it run for instance; 6 tables of pokerstars itunes betpot script pokertracker and pahud? on a 2ghz dual core macbook with 2gig of ram?

I'm still considering switching, but I will probably never reboot to macos if parallels doesn't offer me a smooth experience.

I would say it would be best to run the poker sites & pokertracker/pahud from parallels, but run the database natively. I can't imagine running a database on desktop virtualization is a good idea

I'm lost....So when u buy Parallels do u have to go out and buy Windows xp or vista too?

[/ QUOTE ]yes, or you can use bootcamp which is free. also any xp disk lying around form some of your older comps should work

The differece between boot camp and parallels is that paralles runs under Mac OS X and your XP session runs in a window on your desktop. Boot Camp lets you dual boot into either OS X or XP, but not both at once. Both require a licensed copy of XP.
