Parallels released an internal build on their forums which supports 64 bit Mac’s with any arbitrary RAM installation. I successfully installed it on my Mac Pro (which has 8 gigs of RAM) and it works perfectly. Its kind of surreal to have a native speed Windows XP installation running in a window. I was able to allocate it up to 1.5 gigs of RAM, which is more than enough.
My Mac Pro has no discernible speed hit. Parallels uses about 12-20% of processor consistently, which on a Quad Core isn’t noticeable at all.
I know I’ve said it before, but Parallels and Boot Camp changes the game on Microsoft to such an extent that I couldn’t in my right mind ever recommend a PC for anyone. In fact, WBR IT is doing Parallels + Basecamp with Windows XP as a default install image for all new computers, and is recommending Mac Book Pro’s for people wanting new laptops.
Now, how I USE this Windows install is another question. Right now I use it for cross platform testing and some stupid Windows only apps.

Yup, I just installed Fedora Core 5 to a Parallels image stored on an external 320GB Firewire drive. Works beautifully, and it doesn’t clutter up the relatively limited internal HD space on my MBP; I opted for an internal 100GB@7200rpm instead of 120GB@5400rpm.
