Amiga emulation combination for Macbook

[Crom00]

I have a macbook unibody 15" late 2008. I USE XP with Parallels instead of bootcamp. In coherence mode the XP desktop integrates with the mac desktop and you can run Amiga forever as if it was a Mac ap. I use this all the time with real powerfull apps like Catia, 3dsMAx, Lightwave, and Photoshop. Recommend 4 gigs of ram 2 at the very least.

Amiga Forever doesn't have an equivalent on the mac.

One other note, AROS live works with Parallels very easy to use the virtual machine version of AROS. Works pretty well too.

Good luck.

Have not tried to play PC games throguh paralells. I THINK you'll get performace of a 1.8 ghz-2.hgz single-Dual core (not core 2 duo) with a basic DirectX 9 card with shader model 3.

Games in bootcamp run at full speed. kind of...The unibody mac 2008 has a unacknowledged defect where the drivers won't allow you to run the graphics at full speed in vista. The machine locks up. So I use a 3rd party utiliy to underclock the GFX so the machine doesnt crash.

That's why I use Parallels and USE Bootcamp only when I need to.Do not try VISTA with Parllels, it's too slow, virtually unusable on our laptops.

Vista with Bootcamp would be peftect aside from the following issues:


Aduio Crackling
Freezes requiring reboot
Use of Flash web pages while using trackpad causes crashes so you have to disable it and use a mouse...

of course apple doesn't acknowledge these issues and blames windows vista yet they use the whole Bootcamp dual boot capability as a unique selling point.
