[X4U] Parallels vs. Boot Camp

[Kunga]

Everyone who has installed and tried Parallels Workstation 2.1 with  
XP says it's FASTER than the native dual boot speed. You are  
confusing the emulation specs with the reality that the Parallels  
option uses the Core Duo's Virtualization HARDWARE to run XP. That  
long list of obsolete specs has little relationship to how XP  
performs inside Parallels Workstation 2.1. It does not perform as if  
it's on a PII processor with USB 1.1. It is running FULL BORE on the  
Intel hardware that is in the Intel Mac.
