Who uses this on OSX? Is it reliable? I don't have a PC for testing, and was thinking of getting this.
Your thoughts?

works ok, but you really need alot of ram to run it or it will be very very slow.

Thanks imakedesign. I got plenty of ram, so no problem there.

how much? because, on my GF ibook with 512mb its super slow.

I got 1.25 gigs on my G5. I am thinking that should be plenty.

yep should be safe, you can load up windows 98 or XP if you just want to test webstuff, i would stick to 98 much less system hungry.

I saw it running on a Dual 2.5 G5 with minimum RAM and the processor was equivalent to a 600MHz Intel proc.
just to give you an idea.
Its ALLLL about the RAM.

The thing is that you are able to set how much ram is uses. By default, I believe it only uses about 25% of your ram. I run it on my PB and it works fine. Yes slow, but its because I haven't allocated any additional ram usage for it. You can have it suck up all your ram resources if you wanted too as well.
