Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 , Parallels and VMware fusion are still technically in Beta with VM being free right now and Parallels having a modest cost. Parallels, from what I have heard from other users, still has trouble with recognizing some drivers and does not yet support 3d video. So I suspect it would struggle with BE. If you are interested in running BE on an Intel Mac, Apple's boot camp is probably your best bet. It does not allow you to switch between OS like parallels does, You have to boot directly into windows but it runs flawlessly, Tom Collura is running the BMr software on a MacBook that way and has great things to say about it, The reviews I have seen that would be most likely to shed light on this are the reviews done by/for gamers. They report the Virtualization software is not up to the task of gaming, but that boot camp is a fine solution, I heard from on fellow on the BE list who was able to install BE and run it just fine under bootcamp. > Has anybody run Bioexplorer using either of these two programs?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 This is all a bit premature for me since I havn'et actually purchased an Intel/Mac but it give me more ammunition to use on my wife!Happy New YearVMware sees a DVD if present. Not certain about Parallels. Most likely. In my experience, multi-media is not as "satisfying" when viewed in a virtual machine. This is a rather intense workload. Using an ISO image of a DVD instead of a physical hardware may help. If DVD viewing is required, then boot camp may be the better choice even if less convenient than a virtual machine.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 and , Thanks for all the input...and here's my next question. Will the 17 " MacBook Pro Notebook with 2.16 GHz Core Duo T2600, 1 GB DDR2, 120 GB be enough to handle my needs? (That runs about $1600 vs $2500 for the 2.33 GHz, 2 GB, 160 GB version). Will be ordering this in the coming week and want to be sure I am getting the right model. Can't tell you how happy I am to be able to stay with the Mac.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Bonny, The 2.16 should be fine, It has enough processor power and video ram (128 MB) to do the job. PCs with less power do just fine with BE. Perhaps can let you know what his setup is. > and , > > Thanks for all the input...and here's my next question. > > Will the 17 " MacBook Pro Notebook with 2.16 GHz Core Duo T2600, 1 GB > DDR2, 120 GB > be enough to handle my needs?
