Hi All,
I bought my first Mac and the Activity Monitor shows that I have ~1.7GB of Memory in use upon booting with nothing running in the background. Is this normal?
Running Win 7 32-bit in Parallels, I'm left with less than ~300 MB of free memory. I have 1GB memory dedicated to the VM, but how am I supposed to be able to run Outlook and other PC apps with less than 300 MB of free memory?

I have a 2009 MBP 13 and on initial bootup I only have ~900MB in use. Check your startup preferences or check which processes are using up the memory.
Regarding the VM. If you allocate 1GB that's all it will use. If windows needs more after that it will use the hard disk with a page file. The VM won't dynamically allocate more memory to itself.
