Hello! I'd like to know which one (bootcamp,parallels desktop or any other) is better to run windows 7 on iMac or MacBook pro in order to support and play chessbase programs such as fritz 12, chessbase and others. I' m asking this because these chess programs need powerful processors and sometimes tend to be problematic on windows laptops too, for example using these programes I had difficulties to run some other programs at the same time. So I want to know how they work on Mac before I buy it. Does anyone know? Thank you!

Boot Camp or a virtualization product (I prefer VMWare to Parallels). Either way, you'll get native processor performance.

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
