    Anyone runnin parallel? Could u giv some benchmark compared to the BootCamp. I saw somewhere, that the spokesmen for parallel said that the performance difference is little. I hav doubts for it(just dun trust those spokesmen who wanna promote their products).

    well I've heard that parallels is almost as good as bootcamp, but the main difference (which will most likely be resolved by the actual release, its still in beta) is that it dosent recognize the graphics card, so it just says there is an 8MB graphics card instead of 256MB and it runs much slower. so if you want to do gaming or video/photo editing, then totally go bootcamp (blus boot camp is free). and apparently bootcamp runs great, games like Oblivion run at high settings very well...
