Preferred PARALLELS config? Parallels image, or Bootcamp install...

[M A V I C]

There's a good thread in the parallels forum about this.

I use the boot camp partition because, well, I also need boot camp. It's on my MBP so HD space is a premium.

What it seems to boil down to, is if you need to use boot camp or not. If you don't (eg, are not using anything that requires 3D hardware acceleration) then the image tends to be more useful.
