[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (2 children) I have a 6-year-old iMac. Is it worth running Parallels or would it be super slow? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SupremeFuzzler@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Six years is recent enough for decent virtualization support at the CPU level, so it’ll probably run within 5 to 10% of the “native” performance you could get with Boot Camp. If you have enough RAM to give the VM a decent amount it should be fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Thanks, much appreciated! permalink fedilink source parent [–] ramblechat@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) I had a 10 year old Macbook Pro that was really slow, I put in an SSD and it was transformed. Not expensive and plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Mine has an SSD. It's not super slow or anything. But it is an Intel iMac, so I didn't know if that would be a barrier. Sorry, should have been more specific. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) That's older than my 2015 Air.
