    I want to buy a macbookpro laptop. Because I have to work with windows as well I am trying to get a sense of the processor speed running on Mac under parallels or vmware, especially on the 2.8Ghz or 3.06Ghz (but not only) processors.

    Can you please run super_pi (you can find it from one of the links at the bottom on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_PI) in the windows virtual machine (parallels or vmware) with 2M digits and then post the following information:
    - processor speed
    - software used (parallels or vmware)
    - windows os host (XP or Vista or W7)
    - super_pi result (2M digits),

    Thank you!
