Hey Guys,
I have Win7 x64 installed on a 100gb BootCamp partition for .net development -- it's running Visual Studio 2008, IIS7, Office 2007. I usually run the Coherence mode, though I know the Window mode will give me a tad better performance.
My main question is -- is there anything I can do to improve performance? Things are running pretty well, only a little sluggish when moving windows, resizing, etc. Just wondering if there is any tweaking I could do for even better performance. The only customization I've done is adjusted the virtual's RAM allotment.
I've poked around on the forums for optimization tweaks but most are related to Win7 upgrades, betas, or previous versions of Parallels. Any suggestions or links to threads I missed would greatly be appreciated as well.
Thanks for any feedback.
