<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">A friend of mine has a quad Mac Pro, and he's got 2.5 TB of HD storage installed (4 drives). He uses some Windoze software that is critical for him. He is asking me about Parallels vs. Boot Camp. Just to verify that I am recalling correctly, Parallels limitsHD VM's to 128 GB and you can only have a maximum of 4 (eliminating all other IDE devices), right? So that means he'd have to use Boot Camp to run Windoze XP. I am not familiar with whether there are storage limitations with Boot Camp, although I am aware that you must partition your drive(s) in order to have Windoze partitions available. Are there storage size limitations that I'm not aware of?<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>He says that he's pretty much using ACDSee Pro and BreezeBrowser Pro. What are some Mac apps that would have the same capabilities as these 2 apps? Perhaps we could avoid the need for Windoze all together. He does a lot of photography and video. He's a fellow dentist like me.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Looking for validation and suggestions. I'd like to give him good advice.<BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">--</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">David R.
