can you run parallel on a macbook laptop (the white one, not a pro)?

You can run Parallels on any mac as long as it meets the minimum requirements, however, if you have one of the two newer systems Leopard(V10.5) or Snow Leopard(V10.6) it comes with software to runwindows. This software is called bootcamp and comes free with the system, it allows you to run it natively, which means that it will run almost as good as if you were using windows on a normal PC. This software will also run windows alot better. The only disadvantage is that you cant run windows while you are on OSX, where as with Parallels you can have windows running inside of the OSX

Yes - Parallels.

Just make note:

1) You will need a CD of the OS you wish to use with Parallels - ie; Windows XP Professional or Ubuntu 7.10 etc... and if required - any KEYS that are needed.

Good Luck!

Parallel is a software that runs on the Mac OSs.

So yes, you can run it - just make sure you have the minimum system requirements!
