Does it run at decent speeds? The only app i really need from windows is photoshop. Other than that i'm open to making the switch, or at least giving it a boot partition.
I've not had any speed issues, but then i'm not doing any serious, CPU intensive stuff. All i can suggest is downloading VMWare server and trying it for yourself - it's free!
Ditto, I'm running a dual-core 1.66ghz laptop with a meg of RAM, that oughta do it if I don't go have a millun things open at once shouldn't it?
From my own limited experience, VMWare likes memory so 1GB (i presume you meant GB not MB, right?) might be a bit tight. It'll still work, mind, just not as fast as you might like.
