VMWare Fusion compatible with Mac Pro Apple RAID 5?

[AIRINC]

I intend to get a Mac Pro with the fastest processor available combined with 4GB of RAM and 1TB of SCSI 15,000 RPM disk space configured as a RAID 5 with a 1TB external back up drive. My problem has been that I have read that the Apple RAID 5 configuration will not allow me to use Parallels or Boot Camp. I have many programs that must run under Windows so if the RAID configuration precludes my using Windows XP I might have to scrap the Apple system.

Please advise if VMWare Fusion is compatible with a Mac Pro using Apple RAID 5 for running Windows XP Pro. I am looking to complete this project within the next 10 days, so your quick response is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

While you may not be ablt to use Boot Camp under that condition I don't see how it would stop you from running Fusion and creating a normal files based Virtual Machine. Keep in mind that if you need full native access to the hardware under Windows then a normal file based Virtual Machine does not provide for that.

Thanks for your reply...

I only need to run XP Professional under Fusion to utilize Internet Explorer 7 for accessing Remote Web Workplace, which is a Windows Server portal for remotely accessing a Windows XP Professional Desktop. I may need to print documents locally.

Then you should do fine with just Fusion and a normal file based Virtual Machine and no Boot Camp.
