[Shop-talk] OT: Windows Vista

[Phil Nase]

While were talking computers; in Spring I made the leap from PC to  
Mac.  Mostly it's been a positive experience.

I do run software called Parallels in order to simultaneously run  
Windows XP on my Mac and join my workplace Windows network server.  I  
have 2 gig of ram on the Macbook but in Parallels the machine is slow.

I've heard that Parallels is a memory hog.  Does anyone have any  
experience using the newer Macbooks.  I can go from 2 to 4 gig ram but  
I don't want to spend the money if it's not going to help my Windows  
speeds.  The MAC OS is plenty fast enough for my needs.

Also, any recommendations on Mac memory brands.  The Apple memory is  
very expensive IMO.  Thanks.
