Can Mac-mini run parallel? (Run Windows next to OSX)?

IF it can, specifically run windows simultaneously next to Mac OSX, does it come already installed or a separate software upgrade? Any answers helpful..thankfulness

Can Mac-mini run parallel? (Run Windows next to OSX)?

We have a Mac mini set up contained by our shop, and it runs Windows through Paralells very other.



You will have to purchase a copy of window, and parallels.
Your press is a bit confused:



Is what installed...Windows? No

Parallels? No

Boot Camp? No



Parallels will allow you to run Windows while booted into OS X. The one thing it can not do is anything DirectX - specifically because the OS you are booted into must be able to directly natter to the hardware.



So gaming is out, but running many applications similar to Office, IE, email, etc is fine.



Boot Camp will allow you to boot up into either Windows or OS X. When booted up into Windows, you can run *most* XP software. However, you can not access the OS X factor - not simultaneous.



Hope this helps!!
I don't know if the Mini comes beside the Intel CPU.



If the computer doesn't have an 'Intel' CPU it can't run Windows,
