Hi all,
I have 2 GB RAM in my Macbook Core 2 duo running Parallels to load Windows XP (gave up on Vista dream), what is the best RAM memory allocation?

I mostly use Mac, can I adjust the RAM as needed for faster performance of running OS?
thanks,
SA

BTW : what is coherence?:cool:

wow guys

wow!! my simple question stirred a lot of heavy duty discussion, now can I ask yet another MAYBE stupid question?

If I am not running the Parallels application and it is seating in my dock (in OS X) is al the 2 GB RAM I have, dedicated to OS X?

:D

Parallels loads are kext, so I suppose it's possible that even when Parallels isn't running it is using a small amount of memory. But generally speaking, yes. When Parallels is closed it doesn't use any memory.
