There is a virtualization technology that allows for VMs to talk directly with GPU, but requires more than one GPU and isnt supported in PDM anyway.

Parallels 10.6.8 Full Functionality Of

Would this suit my needs In other words, could I run 10.6.8 server and have the full functionality of my old machine running 10.6.8 Ive never needed any of the additional features of server and indeed know nothing about them.

HOW do I post a NEW post on the forum 15 minutes poking around.

You will need to acquire the server version of SL, but only the server version is allowed to be installed and ran under PDM.

Depending on the hardware you were running SL and the new one you might notice less graphical performance on an OS X virtual machine, this is due to the fact theres no graphical acceleration in an OS X Guest and as such its all done via CPU.

I think this means Parallels has done a better job of hardware abstraction to allow SLS to run on hardwareCPUsGraphics chips that did not exist when SLS was supported.

Parallels 10.6.8 Mac Hardware Like

My question is. Under Parallels 9 or 10, does SLS 10.6.8 guest OS still work on the latest Mac hardware like the mid-2014 iMacs or the just released Retna 5K iMac.

PD does have good support for running OS X guest OSes, so I presume that you should be fine.

Dont forget that SL does not have support for HiDPI displays, some customization might be required.

I think it depends on how well the virtual machine has been abstracted from the hardware.

I need to know if it works on the latest Apple hardware (the retina 5K iMac or retina Macbook Pro isnt really in the budget so HiDPI display compatibility is not a serious issue right now).

This results in infusing people with wrong ideas and false issues, like the one presented, because after all, he is the IT guy.

The virtualized OS (Guest) doesnt talk directly with the GPU, nor the screen, or other pieces of hardware, there is a level of abstraction in between.

Dont forget that the mouse, keyboard, screen, GPU, etc, are working for the Host system primarily, the Guest could never step over the Host, only the Host OS can have direct access to hardware.

The only piece of hardware that the VM is allowed to talk directly to is the CPU through a technology that specifically supports virtualization.

And in case you are wondering, yes, SL can talk directly with CPU made years after it has been released because the architecture is the same (x86 or x64).

The reason why VBox crashed does not have to be related to hardware abstraction, or the hardware not being supported by the OS.
