Parallels – Multi-Monitors

ByMike Moffit

This afternoon Rob A. had a customer ask him about how Parallels works with 2 monitors and if you could use Mac OS X on 1 and Windows XP on the other.

After hunting down a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter I plugged it into my MacBook and a 23” Apple Cinema Display. I then opened a Parallels Window and dragged it over to the 23” display. Boot up Windows and was WOW’d yet again!

Now I can work with Windows XP and OS X side by side and both in full screen. All with ONE machine! Parallels really is such wonderful software.
