MEMORY Issue.

I loaded windows Vista onto my iMac and in the setup process chose for my mac to be the dominant machine as i do just about all my work on it.
By doing this Windows has only been allocated 512MB RAM. How do i go about changing this to 2gig. I have 4 gig of ram so wanted to split it 50/50.
I can only seem to access the side panel on parallel when its running and the memory option says to stop parallels to make the change. So i hit stop and it logs out of windows. . . ?

Also wondering if i allocate 2gig or RAM to windows, does this make OS X run slower only if im using Windows or is this 2Gig RAM always allocated to the Virtual drive?

Hope someone can shed some light..

Tks in advance.

Supported is only 1500 mb, with 10.5.4 installed you can try 2 gb
Start Parallels Desktop - hold Command key until Configuration Editor appears
Click Memory - set value
