[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1325331, member: 24098"] Before you bother with a virtualization product, you should assess your need for Windows. If it's to play games - and 3D games in particular, then forget about virtualization. Yes, Parallels and VMWare have [I]some[/I] support for 3D acceleration, but it's extremely limited. Aside from games, any of these products will run Windows fairly well (Parallels and VMWare are more refined, but VirtualBox will do in a pinch). But if you primarily want to play games - I'd suggest doing a Boot Camp install of Windows, and if that's not convenient, consider purchasing Mac games instead. [/QUOTE]
