Performace which is better bootcamp or parallel

[Zizou91]

Hi everyone, I'm having several problems with my parallel it runs too slow and most of the time it get stock and I have to quit the application :S, people told me about buying more ram since I have only 1GB of ram memory. I guess maybe bootcamp could be an option since i can't afford paying 200 dollars for ram, is bootcamp better if I have only 1GB of ram?? I'm not an expert but by logic I think that running only one OS at a time should make my windows faster no?? and also how can I migrate all of my parallel windows to bootcamp is it possible??

In advantage thanks :)

Well, Bootcamp will be faster because you're running Windows with 1GB of RAM, as opposed to running Mac OS X with 1GB of RAM and then trying to run Windows on top of that.

However, more RAM is REALLY needed. You'd be shocked at the performance boost of both Mac OS X and Windows just by doubling your current RAM.

ram is reasonably priced if you buy it from 3rd party like owc or newegg.
The problem you're having is it's paging like crazy.

Ok I'm moving to bootcamp but how can i move all my stuff of my windows parallel to bootcamp or do I need to install windows again but now on bootcamp :S (that will be a problem since I need to go to the campus for the windows xp os cd :S)

Back up any important files (documents, music, photos, etc.) and do a clean install. Remove Parallels and its Windows installation and do a clean installation of Windows on the Boot Camp partition.
