    Parallels 5 slows Mac it's almost unusable

    x64 Response The answer to your question about 64-bit is "no, I don't HAVE to install this version". I thought it would be beneficial since my Mac can handle it, but maybe using Parallels 5 and Win 7 in 64-bit would be too much for it. Also, your note about CPU usage makes lots of...
