To confuse things further, after "Core 2", Intel dropped the "2" and used "i"-something: This also means this Mac cannot run OS X Lion (a requirement of the current beta which seems likely to persist to release). VirtualBox does allow 64-bit guests on hosts running a 32-bit OS, but still requires a 64-bit processor ( with hardware virtualization support). Mac OS X is not Linux - they are cousins.ĮDIT: Apparently you have one of the early Intel Macs, which had "Core Solo" and "Core Duo" - not "Core 2 Solo" and "Core 2 Duo" - processors. Unix is a common ancestor of both Mac OS X and Linux. (Intel tried an earlier 64-bit processor named Itanium, but it didn't catch on, so they adopted AMD's approach.) I would tell my students not to bother spending $40 for parallels unless they have AT LEAST 8 gig of memory, less than that it is just wouldn't be worth the price.Longer answer: "AMD64" applies to both AMD and Intel. The only good news there is really is that there is a 50% discount for students for the basic version of parallels, point the student to this page for all the details:Īs a final note I will say that the minimum recommended specifications for Parallels is quite low and I would expect most users with that bottom of the line computer to have a very unsatisfactory experience. Of course the instructions for doing this are all for virtualbox and so many exact details on installation and running of the windows machine will differ slightly with parallels. The best solution at this time is recommend to the student to buy parallels, which is akin to VirtualBox in that it will allow installation and running of Windows Virtual machines. I also suspect this is going to be more and more of a problem as Apple moves more and more of their computers to the M1 chips.
cheap and easy) solutions at this time to getting students access to DNA Master with the newer M1 hardware.
