Indeed yes. The more you can assign, the better your experience. When I am giong to do intensive work in FM, Visio, etc, I assign 8Gb. Alan On 10/03/16 10:31 am, Scott Prentice wrote: You do need more RAM for VMs. An easy rule of thumb is 4GB per OS .. 4 for the Mac, and 4 for each VM. I've

Re: [Framers] Bootcamp vs. Parallels or VM, WAS: FrameMaker and Salesforce

I have Windows 10 on Bootcamp. While I very rarely boot into Windows directly, Windows 7 and 10 both run very well on the Apple hardware. I have mostly accessed the Bootcamp partition using VirtualBox until I upgraded to 10, then the VirtualBox Vm stopped working. Until could get it working

You do need more RAM for VMs. An easy rule of thumb is 4GB per OS .. 4 for the Mac, and 4 for each VM. I've got 16GB, and that works great for 3 OSes. ...scott On 3/9/16 1:17 PM, John Sgammato wrote: Hi Pat, I got my MacBook Pro in November 2012. First I asked for a Windows machine. That

Re: [Framers] Bootcamp vs. Parallels or VM, WAS: FrameMaker and Salesforce

I've been running Windows on a Mac for the past 7 years, using VMware Fusion. I'll never go back to the "old" world. If I just wanted to run Windows, stand-alone, I might consider using Bootcamp, but I find the ability to run multiple OSes simultaneously on the same system a huge bonus. I

Re: [Framers] Bootcamp vs. Parallels or VM, WAS: FrameMaker and Salesforce

Hi Pat, I got my MacBook Pro in November 2012. First I asked for a Windows machine. That was rejected. Then I tried VirtualBox, and that did not work well for a number of reasons that I no longer recall. (I had plenty of support from well-meaning engineers.) Then one of those well-meaning

Using Boot Camp to install Windows on a Mac is like setting up dual-boot Windows and Linux on a PC. There's no VM, no integration between Windows apps and OS X. You install Windows from an installation disc, then reboot to switch from one operating system to the other. On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at

[Framers] Bootcamp vs. Parallels or VM, WAS: FrameMaker and Salesforce

Hi, John - I've run FrameMaker under both Parallels and VMware Fusion but have only used in on a Windows platform for the last several years. I may soon be in a position to use a Mac again. I'm curious about your preference for Bootcamp (which I've never used). I would also love to hear from
