    I re-installed Parallels 4.0 and Windows XP and everything is working wonderfully so far. I tried installing a program and it said I had insufficient RAM. It required 1GB and it showed I only had 512 MB. I have 4GB on my Macbook. What is this reason, or can it be changed?

    shut down the Virtual Machine but don't quit Parallels

    Select this menu entry: Virtual Machine -> Configure

    In the dialog box that appears, select the tab "General"

    There you can set your VM's memory. I would recommend not to go beyond 1 GB, maybe 1.5 on your set up.

    Good luck!

    there is no way you can play GTA 4 with Parallels, it's even struggling with Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro 5,3 (30FPS @ Xbox settings)

    Hi,
    currently, you cannot run GTA 4 in Parallels Desktop 5. Parallels is working on it, but no exact ETA can be given.
