In older versions it was rather easy to install Parallels on AMD, you only had to remove the Check for an Genuine Intel processor and the InstallationCheck file. Now it's a bit more difficult, some files are invisible and there's a check about a hardware virtualization. But I have an idea, will try it.

So, I created a version which is installable on AMD. But it doesn't work when it's installed, if you want to start a virtual machine the program still asks for hardware virtualization and stops then. So you even can't convert the virtual machines correctly.

There occured some strange things: After the installation I got a weird error: Transparent menus and so on, take a look in the attachment.

Anyway, I uploaded a AMD installable version to rapidshare, including readme and serials. If anyone will experiment with it, PM me for the link.

Ive done it with no problem. i have an amd dual core 64 bit 6000+ it runs at 3.1ghz. i didnt have to do anything special i just installed it and it works fine. I am running virtual systems of windows 98 windows xp windows vista 64 bit and windows 7 64 bit. the only problem i have is that it doesnt recognize my graphics card but i think that is an issue with using an ATI cards for osx86 and i am using the voodoo kernel

Hardware virtualization is a technology in the CPU...
Some older CPUs do not have this...
