I have a 6-year-old iMac. Is it worth running Parallels or would it be super slow?
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.
Thanks, much appreciated!
