I think there are two programs you can use on the MAC to run Windows programs. When you install either, what you get is a virtual copy of Windows. Once you're running that virtual copy, you should install the CE-200 software, which will run within that program. My understanding is it tends to be slow when installed that way; however, it's used to transmit designs to the machine, and once it does that, you don't need to use the software part, anyway. It will NOT slow down the machine.
There is a gotcha you need to know. I just took a look a the Parallels site, and it appears that when you install Parallels, you have your choice of running either Windows 7 or Windows 8. Those operating systems are available in 32 bit or 64 bit. If it is running the 64 bit version, you will also need to buy an upgrade to the CE-250 software, and if that's the case, you can generally find it on EBay, relatively inexpensively. I suspect, though, that it's running the 32 bit version of Windows, which will run fine.
