 |

My graphics card on a late 2009 mini returns a score of 2.9. I'm sure something is wrong? Dragging the windows inside Windows 7 are really choppy, any one help me out here? Thanks

Might not be the graphics card.
How much ram have you on board ?
Also, when the windows drag, are you running multiple apps ?
Windows 7 can hog memory...maybe cutting out some of the non essential core services may help...

I doubt its the graphic card, since I run the older mini with the 950 card and my W7 experience is 3.3 for graphics.
Sounds like RAM problems (lack of).

I have 5 gigs of RAM 1 X 1 gig and4 X 1 gig. I've dedicated 4 gigs to Parallels on the settings plane.

Rosso are there any processes on the Mac side running while you are in Parallels?

Ah Ha, I think I've somewhat solved this. I had single core selected in options as standard and not dual. Its perked up now. Cheers.
