Now this isn’t the end of the world, I have tried adjusting the memory up to above 16MB but nothing changes. If I go to system preferences and go to display it is stuck at 1024×768. The second is that I cannot change the resolution of the Virtual Machine. There is no rhyme or reason to this madness, but it is happening. The first, and most annoying is that every once in a while the networking within the Guest Operating System will reset and if I’m downloading anything that will reset as well. Secondly, I’m probably going to use my OS X 10.5 Leopard Server for development, thereby allowing me to keep my Snow Leopard Server in a much more stable state. The reason I’m doing it is so that I can compare Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server to 10.6 Snow Leopard Server much easier than having to run them off of two hard drives and boot between the two. Now one might ask, ‘Why would you ever want to do this?’ Well the answer can be any one of many. The install will take just as long as if you were installing it natively to the hard drive. Just start up the virtual machine and begin installation.Verify that Parallels has access to the DVD Drive.I recommend this be on a separate drive from your internal drive, but it is not necessary for this to be the case. The only tweaks you have to make are as follows: Mac OS X 10.5 Snow Leopard installs into Parallels 4.0 just as it would on any Mac, with just a few tweaks to the installation. Despite the fact that Mac OS X 10.6 Client cannot be loaded, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server can be loaded and thus this is what I have done.
However, as far as I can tell, Snow Leopard Client cannot be used as a guest within Parallels 4.0. All in hopes of being able to run a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard client within a Virtual Machine. So I upgraded my copy of parallels to version 3.0 and now more recently to version 4.0.
Recently, I upgraded my iMac to its maximum of 3GB which now allows me to run Virtual Machines. I used it a bit at first with Windows XP but I never really had enough memory to run both efficiently in tandem. I purchased my copy at the same time as I bought my iMac. I bought my boxed copy back in March of 2007. I’ve been a parallels user since version 2.0.
