Hi, I wonder if someone else is having the same anoying issue. Sometime when I switch between a Mac and a Windows Task(Program) it can take up to 4-5 seconds until it switches. This happens as well, when I switch between 2 Windows tasks (Programs). I had the same issue under PD6 and PD7. I am running a Macbook pro wiht 8GB and have 3GB assigned to the VM. regards Gerald
Your RAM sounds adequate for most needs. I think I gave my setup 4Gb, which was the upper half of what Parallels recommended. How much video RAM do you have set for the VM? I think mine is set to 512Meg, but 256 worked well for most things too. I'd check my setup but Parallels is still doing the latest update - I hope it finishes before I have to go to bed!
