Swad Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 There's a new Parallels build in town, pilgrim. [/John Wayne] It boasts support for all the latest Macs along with a few other niceties. Just a few minutes ago our developers posted a new build (1898) for Desktop for Mac that substantially improves Mac Pro and 64-bit iMac performance and eliminates kernel panics and major bugs. For those users who have Mac Pros and 64-bit iMacs with more than 2GB of RAM, you've had to manually limit your RAM via the instructions I layed out in my "Q&A about the Update RC" post. In this build, we've included a tool that will help you take this action without any command line coding. With a single click you can limit your RAM and make your Mac Pro fully compatible with this build. You can easily revert your memory back at any time to the full configuration with the same tool. This build also adds support for Windows Vista RC1 as a guest OS, and adds an improved Parallels Tools package for all of the Vista builds that improves mouse movement, and video resolutions, and beefs up networking. I highly recommend you install it if you're running Vista! Originally, I told you that we'd have full PAE support by year's end. Now, I'm pleased to let you know that we are working on a new RC version that will be compatible with ANY Intel-Mac with ANY amount of RAM, and will have it much sooner than originally anticipated. The engineering team tells me that this build should be available in a week or two. Snatch your copy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antic Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I just installed Vista RC1 on Parallels. It's working great. Can you get the areo transparency effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Can you get the areo transparency effect No, you can't get it due to the lack of Parallels' 3D graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackt283 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 When is the 3d support coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuTrBoY Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I just loaded it up too. Its not too bad, you get to see the functionality, but no exciting Aero interface ... if you find it exciting at all! I really like the move from the hourglass to the circular spinning .. looks like a MAC loading cursor! .. Back to OSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Luca Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 It's working great. I installed TinyXP rev. 05 and it's hell fast. I even played Age of empires on it and it worked very well. EDIT: Counter Strike is also working (Software Render) and playable @ 1024x768, so I believe that also Half-Life works as well as all its mods.

vandetta Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I already downloaded Vista RC1 but I just love the Aero GUI of Vista if Parallels can't take it so I guess I won't install it, maybe I will try use Boot Camp.. But actually I prefer Parallels than Boot Camp because I can use both OS at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sev7en Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 When is the 3d support coming? As far as I see if you are looking for 3D support you should use the very crapped CrossOver software because Parallels doens't support it yet (Direct3D and OpenGL libraries I mean).
