    I have Parallels Desktop 5 with use on my 27' iMac with Windows 7. In the Configuration settings for my virtual machine, I can only go up to 256mb of video RAM even though the memory card on my iMac has 512mb (it's the ATI 4850). Is it possible to select 512mb in the virtual machine settings?

    Why would you wanna do that? Don't you wanna save the other 256MB for the Mac OS side of your machine?

    I don't think it's possible.

    Hi TravisS,
    it's not possible to allocate more then 256 MBs video memory to a virtual machine.
