It works great with Parallels and VMWare Fusion and we are several doing the same thing. In my opinion, go for it! You won't be sorry. Take care, Karin | | | DVX on Parallels works just fine | Jan 8, 2009 |
I have been using DVX on Parallels (Windows XP) for about two years now. Works without problems, and Windows in general seems to perform better on a virtual machine than in a native installation. Just throw in some extra RAM when buying, as your virtual machine will take its part of RAM and will slow down your MAC OS. I had 1 GB RAM initially on my iMac (with Tiger and Windows XP), but it just was too slow and I experienced several kernel panics. Upgrading to 2 GB help...

The best experience so far is the performance of OS X Leopard with Parallels and Windows XP on an iMac with 4 GB RAM. That works just great. Should you think about using Windows Vista instead of XP, I think 4 GB should be a must, although I didn't try it myself. Enjoy!

Just throw in some extra RAM when buying, It's exactly the idea I have as your virtual machine will take its part of RAM and will slow down your MAC OS. Yes, I know the principle, I work with virtual machines from several years ago I'm asking for Parallels 'cause: 1) it's a promotion here and Parallels is bundled for free with some Mac models. 2) I never used it before. 3) I know the biggest problem in the virtualization is the dongle, e.g. it didn't work on Virtual PC on PPC Macs neither on earlier VMWare on PC (from 1 to 3, as I remember, I didn't tested it with the last version(s)). I had 1 GB RAM initially on my iMac (with Tiger and Windows XP), but it just was too slow and I experienced several kernel panics. Upgrading to 2 GB helped a lot. The best experience so far is the performance of OS X Leopard with Parallels and Windows XP on an iMac with 4 GB RAM. Yes, I want to buy immediately 4 GB... and a bigger HDD... That works just great. Should you think about using Windows Vista instead of XP, I think 4 GB should be a must, although I didn't try it myself. I have already Vista on my primary notebook. Nevermore. Thanks for both Cheers GG | |

Dongle works perfectly well | Jan 8, 2009 |
The USB dongle works perfectly well with Parallels, I have not experienced any problems so far. Parallels itself works like a charme, I chose Parallels after fiddling around with VMware and Bootcamp. They all work well, but I just liked Parallels a lot more. I haven't updated to the latest version yet, but the last updates always brought only improvements and no trouble.

It even works with project files and TMs on Mac part, so I keep my Parallels part clean from files. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » DVX on Parallels Desktop...
