[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1187258, member: 190607"] That's hard to say. Both Parallels and Fusion only have partial implementation of DirectX. You may want to have a look at both of their Web sites, and their associated discussion forums, and see if any of their users use the games that you want to run specifically, so that you know that they will run okay. My son wanted to run Windows on his iMac for no other reason than to run animated games, and eventually he got fed up with Parallels and switched to using Bootcamp. Bootcamp worked flawlessly. I think that is the way to go if your only interest is gaming. Restarting your Mac to play games isn't that big of a deal. Besides, Bootcamp is free: [url=http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]Apple - Support - Boot Camp[/url] Don't forget to install any updates to Bootcamp: [url=http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp]Apple - Support - Downloads[/url] ___________________________________________ Randy B.
