I currently own a Macbook Core Duo 2.0ghz 2gb ram (the first black ones) and I am running Parallels VM with Vista Bootcamp (1gb give to VM) however I am having problems with performance. I believe because of the ram. My available ram drops to 25mb when I am running.

I am looking into buying a new mac however I can't decide between a macbook pro or macbook. I don't run graphic intensive programs but I do need to use parallels all days long at work.

I am hoping a new macbook with 4gb ram should solve the problems I am having but do you think macbook pro will have any advantages for me in my case.

I really prefer the smaller and cheaper macbook...

Thanks Alexander. That seems to help. I thought that was too little for Vista.

If I buy a new macbook with 4gb memory will this be the setting I will have to use also?

And do you have a comment on which mac to buy as far as parallels performance. With a similar CPU and memory configuration would there be a performance difference between these laptops for office use.... (outlook, MS Project, and general office applications)

Thanks
