[QUOTE="knightlie, post: 617836, member: 28829"] Using the same partition for Fusion AND BootCamp is tricky, because Windows sees a different hardware profile in each one and so thinks it needs to be activated again. If you're after running DirectX of any kind then Fusion has better DirectX support than Parallels, but nowhere near as good as BootCamp, which is accessing the hardware directly. BootCamp will run games pretty well on a MacBook Pro. The best solution might be to use Fusion for your D&D-style gaming, and make a separate BootCamp partition for DirectX games, which is what I did on my iMac. Either way, I'd recommend Fusion over Parallels; as I said the DirectX support is better, as is the customer support, and if you need to share the BootCamp partition, Fusion [i]definitely[/i] does it.
