Definately Boot Camp. Parellels emulates a virtual PC and doesn't use your Mac hardware natively so it will run slower.

I second Boot Camp. Parallels actually emulates the video card; you're definately not going to get anything near the full potential of your graphics performance through it. I installed Boot Camp on my brother's MBP with the 128mb x1600 and Half-Life 2 runs great. Needless to say I'm jealous :)

Yeah, Boot camp all the way... Parallels might be alright for 2D games, but anything better will require Windows running natively...

FOR SURE boot camp, unless you have more than a gig of ram, then you might be able to try it, but Boot Camp for sure.
