[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1185727, member: 6762"] Interesting read. Thanks to Randy Singer for the Links too. I'm looking to run either Parallels or Fusion on my Core 13 iMac when it arrives. Don't want to mess with BootCamp since I'm really only looking to do some light gaming on the thing and I like the idea of having Windows in a Window on the Mac Desktop. I'm leaning towards Fusion right now and the games I'm looking at are not top of the line CPU or GPU intensive games (that's what the X-Bosx and PS3 are for), they are mostly 7 or 8 year old games that have been reissued and will run on Win 95-XP (One that I just found is one of the Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends series). Speaking of which I'm looking at installing a retail version of XP Home Edition on whichever one I end up purchasing. All that being said, is there going to be any real difference between Parallels and Fusion for what I am looking to do? Both retail for about $70 locally. [/QUOTE]
