Boot Camp

I admit that I have nothing better to do tonight. So I downloaded both Parallels and Boot Camp to have a hand on them. Yes, I’m naughty and dirty to the Macbook. Anyway, after some try out with Parallels, I do not think that it’s an idea to run 2 OS simultaneously.

Experience with Parallels. It definately slow down both OS. Annoying Parallels windows around the desktop too. I found out that Mac OSX use their memory (RAM) exactly like Windows do. Once I opened too much application, it will slow down my operation, not to mention run 2 OS yet, 256RAM was separated for WinXP by Parallels.
Boot Camp
A little different when running with Boot Camp. Running WinXP in a Macbook is really stable and fast, I like it a lot honestly. But when I restart to Macintosh, it slowed down the boot up a hell lot!

So… You tried? Or this slow down just apply on me? I’m planning to go for dual boot with Ubuntu :P

    So much fun playing with the different OS ah? But I think no matter what you do, it will never beat the speed of running one single OS on one machine.

    Neo: Yes, maybe… But I was wondering if dual boot could do the separation thingy or not…
