I read that Parallels 4 can use up to 256MB of VRAM (I have a 256mb 8600 on a MBP). Is this true? Vmware Fusion 2 can only use 128 and it runs TF2 so so.. if this is true for Paralells I might finally be able to play TF2 without dealing with the woes of dual booting into bootcamp.

Anyone get SM 2.0 to work in Paralells 4 yet?

It doesn't use your laptop's video card, it uses an emulated video card. So you get 256mb VRAM of an emulated video card.

Are they ever planning on releasing Vmware or parallels with out emulated graphics card? I dont know if thats possible or not since its an emulated OS but that would be sweet

btw i get 30-70 fps (very randomly) in tf2 on vmware 2
