NYCPHP Meetup

[Tim McEwen]

With the latest Parallels you can actually  use the same partition/ 
windows install for Bootcamp and Parallels. That way you can stay in  
osx most of the time and only reboot into Bootcamp if you need better  
hardware support (games?)


Personally,  I have parallels open all the time (testing soap  
compatibility between .Net and PHP)  and rarely reboot into  
bootcamp.   Visual studio runs great and everything feels snappy in  
windows.

If you are going to use several os x apps (specially ZDE, mail and  
firefox)  at the same times at parallels you really need 2 gigs of ram.
