It's been working fine. Now, I want to put in Parallells. Can I just add Parallels or do I have do something else to have both of them working? Please let me know.

This increased the mouse tracking to perform without any glitches at all. It is performing so well now, I'm going to pre-purchase as soon as payday comes around. :) I don't know about any game performance. I haven't played any in ages. Age of Empires II was my last serious game-playing days. But, I do run Fireworks on large files without any issues (in fact better than through Rosetta on the Intel OS X side). The Parallels forums might provide game-performance accounts. Eli, did you “Install Parallels Tools …” under VM in the menu? This increased the mouse tracking to perform without any glitches at all.

I'll try again. One big nousance that may have a fix I'm not aware of is not being able to use the numeric pad on my iMac's keyboard. Parallel recognizes is as arrows. Speed I think is great but then again I only use it for QuickBooks. No games. I have tried increasing the memory to 616MB but mouse is still eratic. I’ll try again.
