dmg file (image files) can be mounted as a virtual dvd.Ĭlick to expand.It's not hair-splitting, and I don't welcome your attitude. pvm package of a virtual machine, it's 'virtual' as opposed to 'real/physical' because the whole 'hard disk/partition' is a file. Let me clarify for you what 'Virtual Drive'/'Virtual HardDrive'/'Virtual HardDisk'/'Virtual HDD' means. Parallels can use a Bootcamp partition as the storage/disk of a VM.Īnd in that scenario you really don't need benchmarks to realise that if both OS X and the Windows VM, either in a Bootcamp partition or in a Virtual Disk/Drive, reside on the same physical disk they will be competing for I/O the moment they'll both want to read and write something from the disk at the same time, hence the slower performance. What you wrote in your initial post is about comparing I/O performance under Parallels of a VM based on Bootcamp versus a VM based on a Virtual Disk (" from within parallels"), and NOT comparing the performance running the Bootcamp partition natively (Booting the mac to Windows). Now that's out of the way, let's move on to the major one.

Specs: MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports), 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB, MacOS High Sierra Version 10.13.Click to expand.Let me clarify for you what 'Virtual Drive'/'Virtual HardDrive'/'Virtual HardDisk'/'Virtual HDD' means. Is parallels really that bad to game on? I've heard they've made improvements. However, I also want to be able to game on my mac with some decent responsiveness. What should I use: bootcamp or parallels? Running windows and mac at the same time seems convenient since I would be able to run a lot of mac specific apps at the same time and my Mac OS would be my main account with all my files. I would be able to get Windows 10 for free with my student e-mail so that cost doesn't matter. They recommended that we use something like Parallels if we have a mac which they offer at a 50% discount ($39.99). I'm going to start college next year they've said that there are some windows specific engineering software that we will be using in class.
Windows 32 bit or 64 bit for mac parallels vs boot. Bootcamp will be optimised for one specific Windows version, depending on your Mac model & OS. Not worth doing you'd be fighting a license limitation but there are no legitimate ready-made OS X VMs that run natively in Windows. You need to completely shut down the Parallels instance before attempting to boot it natively, or you can damage the Windows install.Run Windows, Linux, or Popular Oses on your Mac.
