I know very little about the Mac at present and thanks to people like your good self, I am learning more all the time.

I thought well the iMac would have 8GB in it as standard and I looked on Crucial's site and I can get 16GB for a good price, so that's why I came out with the 24GB figure. A few people on other forums have said, if you can get the ram cheap enough, then get as much as you can afford. And you can easily run all of those types of programs on the Mac side so you may not even need Parallels.Thanks for the help Karen its much appreciated. Not trying to say that you shouldn't get that memory or processor, but based on those uses, 24GB of memory is way overkill even if you assigned 8 or more to a Parallels instance. Would my uses I described and with running the VM (Parallels Desktop 8) would the 4GB limit be too low?Ĭompatibility issues are much better since Vista.

I know that if I went with a 32 bit version of Windows it wouldn't be able to use more than 4gb of ram. Has mentioned above, I would have 24GB of ram installed on my iMac (has others on other forums have said that its best to get as much ram as you can afford and this was based on my uses too) Saying that though, it's quite possible (but I don't know yet) that I might be doing some of the above some of the time in the Mac side rather than Windows, but I wouldn't know this until I started using my iMac.Īlso in light of what my uses would be. So in light of my uses, would there be any benefit to me getting a 64 bit version of Windows. Someone did mention to me that video conversion would benefit from a 64 bit version of Windows due to been able to use more than 4GB of ram, but I wondered what you guys think of that? The main things I do mostly on my computer are:Ĥ: A bit of video conversion, for if I'm wanting to convert some avi, mp4, mpeg, mkv video to a different format to either then put on my iPad, Playstation 3 or to burn to a DVD disk. It's just with the iMac having a 64 bit OS I wondered if it would be beneficial to have a 64 bit version of Windows too. So I don't know if 64 bit is something I'm going to need or miss. I've never had a 64 bit version of Windows in the 10 years of owning a Windows PC (apart from when the system builder supplied my machine in error with 64 bit Vista, which I later removed once the system builder sent me the correct version). Or has things improved from a compatibility point of view with 64 bit? I am planning to have a total of 24GB of ram (the iMac would come with 8GB, and I would be installing an additional 16GB), but the last thing I want to do is run into compatibility issues like I did with the 64 bit Windows Vista that I had.

Now I was wondering which version of Windows (32 or 64 bit) would you recommend to install along with Parallels Desktop 8 on my iMac.

I can't remember all the details has its 5 years ago almost, but I can remember plugging things in like external hard drives and usually you get a prompt installing driver, but with the 64 bit version it basically could not find the drivers if my memory serves me correctly.

Now when I got my last PC which came installed initially with Windows Vista 64 bit by the system builder, I found that my USB devices and I think some software and hardware wouldn't work. Im planning on getting one of the new 27 inch iMac's early next year and I will be installing Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 probably.
