I'm on a MBB Core Duo, 1g RAM 80g HD . I run XPPro SP2 with 412 for memory, which is what Parallels recommended. Both OSes run great. I get the occasional pop-up message that my VM system is low on memory and will increase it (set to Auto in prefs). I use the Office 2003/2007 apps and have 3-4 of them open and they do fine, plus run Safari and iCal on the Mac side. No problem. I use a firewire drive partition as a shared folder location and it works great. I even ran a VM from the Firewire drive.
I have downloaded and used every build since 1970, all betas and am on 3188 now. Only issues were an occansional parallels quit unexpectantly, but nothing else.
Whatever the issues it'a not the Mac and not Parallels. Else everyone would have same thing happen. Best to check for HD issues, permissions, install Parallels and restart your Mac. Make sure your Windows is a good copy. Remember it's far more buggy tha OSX. Is it updated from Microsoft.
