[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 338072, member: 23228"] Parallels = inadequate for gaming, does not support the Direct3D calls that most modern games require for their graphics Boot Camp = great for gaming; your computer is essentially a PC with the same processor, HDD, RAM, graphics card, etc. native OS X = ideal for gaming; you just have to find games that are Mac-compatible and preferably UB (Universal Binary; they run equally well on PPC- and Intel-based Macs). I would also expect in the near future a bunch of games ported from PC to Mac which are [i]only[/i] going to work on Intel Macs. [/QUOTE]
