The Official Parallels Virtualization Blog: New build for Mac Pro available now
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, youve had to manually limit your RAM via the instructions I laid out in my “Q&A about the Update RC” post. In this build, weve 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.
Its very important to note that limiting your RAM configuration to run Parallels Desktop will NOT prevent you from running any other OS X application although they may run slightly slower. It simply helps our hypervisor “play nice” with the Mac Pro.
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 youre running Vista
