What are the specs on the MB? You have two basic options: bootcamp or a VM like Parallels or VM Fusion.

it's prob 9 months old with the 7hr battery

rubbrband · 01-17-2011, 08:16 PM

i think it's like 2.4ghz dual core 2gb ram

with 2gb of ram your only choice is boot camp unless you want to buy more RAM.

rubbrband · 01-18-2011, 02:19 AM

buying more ram isn't a problem but i don't have the time to do that right now.

sounds like a problem to me.

as already suggested. Install bootcamp and run Windows for HEM

Parallels is better

rubbrband · 01-20-2011, 05:23 AM

now that i read up on it i think i want to install the os instead of using vm...

the reason i need windows is for a rush hud which can't be done on mac OS with pt3 so i doubt it could be done if hem was running within mac os...

i thought parallels was a installation like bootcamp and not a vm

i am assuming vm means virtual machine but not sure...

**kerowo** · 01-20-2011, 10:44 AM

Correct, VM is a virtual machine, both Parallels and Fusion are virtual machines you install on top of OS X and run Window's machines at the same time.

rubbrband · 01-20-2011, 04:40 PM

oh i thought parallels was a install like bootcamp...

is bootcamp the only other option?

Ankimo · 01-20-2011, 10:23 PM

you seem reluctant to use bootcamp. Why?

It's free and works perfectly.

I tried HEM on Fusion and it couldn't handle it and i have 2GB RAM on my imac. I tried to install boot camp but I have a problem trying to partition a boot camp. It says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved." Can some one help me on this? Thanks!
