Otherwise, as a good citizen of The Village, I would be forced to report you to Number 2 as someone who is in the Cult of Individuality. Being an upright citizen, you wouldn’t want to do that. There is very little preventing you from running an OEM version of Windows in Virtualization mode except the license says you can’t and thus would be illegal. The OEM version above is $149.99 which is much cheaper than the non-OEM version currently selling for $258.92 on Amazon.
I’m planning on installing VMware Fusion 3 on my new Macbook, but it’s a bit unclear what will and will not work from the Windows OS options I see online.
WHICH VMWARE DO I NEED FOR MAC 64 BIT
However, as I pointed out, All Intel Macs are 64 bit hardware through and through, so you can easily run 64 bit OS.
WHICH VMWARE DO I NEED FOR MAC 32 BIT
If you have 32 bit hardware, you cannot run a 64bit OS in virtual mode. In virtualization, the CPU and hardware is running the client OS in almost native mode. It would be extremely and painfully slow, but you could. In an emulated environment, you could emulate a 64 bit system on 32 bit hardware and under a 32 bit OS. For example, the old PowerPC Macs emulated the Intel chips. In emulation, you could emulate a completely different piece of hardware. Virtualization is different from emulation. What makes you think your Mac is 32 bits? You have the newest 17" PB Pro? That’s a 64 bit system.
WHICH VMWARE DO I NEED FOR MAC INSTALL
Is it possible for me to install a 64-bit version of Windows 7 in my Parallels, even though the underlying Mac is 32-bit?. I have a 32-bit Mac (newest 17" PB Pro), on which I have Parallels 5. I don’t mean to hijack this thread, but since there seem to be people here knowledgeable about Mac virtualizers: Note: I run both for work, so I make no allegiance to one over the other as any sort of fanboy. If you really don’t care about speed that much, they are so comparable wrt ease of use / setup / management as to be negligible.
In my experience, Parallels 5 is much faster than Fusion 3.0, faster still with dual proc setup, and even faster in 64 bit. In general, what are the red flags and pitfalls I need to avoid when buying a Windows OS for VMware Fusion for my Mac? (Your version of Fusion does support Win7, so no worries there). Bear in mind that with VMWare and Citrix you need the newest versions to even install and run Win7. My experience has been that Win7 in a VM environment is much faster than XP. On the other hand, I found online several options for this too: OEM, non-OEM, etc. It will not work - OEM versions will not install into a VM, be it VMWare, VMWare View, Hyper-V, Citrix Xen Desktop, Fusion, whatever.Īlso, I could go with Windows XP since that’s a proven and stable OS, and I should be able to find it cheaper than Windows 7. For example CompUSA has a “Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64BIT Operating System Software - OEM DVD”.
