Though they have made some great strides in this software, I'm not sure it will allow you the level of service you are looking for. I would personally just use boot camp on the Intel Mac and run windows that way. Make sure you get a good graphics card for it and enough memory/processor.

i would concur - i've inquired about parallels in another thread some time ago and from the responses it was apparent that boot camp was the way to go - i'll see if i can find that thread

here's what i remembered - have fun =))

The problem whit boot camp is that you need to boot windows whit the startup. whit paralles you can open every program in mac OS whit your virtual windows. But I just wonder if it is fast becaus your running 2 system at once.

I found something on the web about parallels.

Parallels 3.0's 3D graphics support gives the software a new level of functionality, but Boot Camp, which lets you run Windows and Mac OS X by dual-booting, is still a much better way to play PC games on a Mac. Parallels' real strength is its ability to share files between two simultaneously running OSs. Version 3.0's enhancements go a long way toward improving that functionality.

So boot camp is mutch better for gaming on a mac
