Conclusion
Parallels Desktop 3.0 is the best solution for running Windows, Linux, or other operating systems alongside OS X. With the featues of Intel VT-X hardware accelerated, 3D graphics support, Snapshots and Undo Disks, smart select, coherence, virtual appliances, and many other features, Parallels very fast and usefull by runing other OS without rebooting the Mac. But Unfortunately, I still got problem with 3D accelerated, the 3D graphics support still have limitation. Tested with USB TV Tuner, but I got kernel panic and some games not totally support on Parallels. If the game works with Parallels, you'll got FPS penalty drop on the game because of the game ussually use a lot of resource. But if you have powerfull Mac Pro, I think it will works well. So, Parallels still the best Virtualization I've ever tested, very usefull for many people who doesnt want to spent a lot of money for a PC or Laptop, doesn't have to wait for rebooting to change the OS. With only $79.99, its worth to get more features that Parallels give it to you. Credits goes to Parallels Inc. software team specially Uljana Orlova for supporting the review |
