@daenvgiell, it depends on your likes. For me, I choose vmware over parallels. vmware can enable 2 cores of your processor, whereas parallels only use a single core. But vmware got downside as well, it don't have much cool features compare to parallels.

I suggest you go have a try on both of the softwares first.

finally someone did ask.

I try couple of games. Running good so far.

- Pro Street (once enable smoke effect, direct kena BSOD )
- Dawn of War (Running wild with it. A lit bit Lag during the fighting effects)
- WC3 (no need to tell la, even Pentium3 machine can run smoothly Both mac and win running wildly)
- Live for Speed (running wild as well )

All the above, i set in native resolution (1280x800). Pro street got abit lag if set higher but it can't enable smoke effect and Antialiasing. Later I might want to test oblivion out. So far so good, I happy with x3100. It performs quite well than I expected.

Btw, Crysis won't work Hope the final x3100 driver release soon. Currently it is only beta.

why most ppl think mac version and using VM to play? Btw, there are no mac version for most recent games. That's the truth. That's why we still need "TINGKAP" VM CANNOT PLAY GAME LA, just can play oldschool games. AIDUH... Running in windows alone already quite lag lo and you still thinking of running in VM?

Btw, your macbook is x3100 or GMA950? If GMA950, you don't bother about playing games. Pro Street can't run in GMA950 btw

oh.. those games i didn't test it and also not my liking. I think GTA:SA no problem right? and Halo surely no problem. For Halo, it is better to use mac version Got problem also Halo2. I play mostly racing game, and Pro Street good for me in 1280x800 resolution. I just have to disable the world effects and stuff. The car model can go high without lag, i think roughly 20-25fps. If lower down resolution, can get better fps

no problem 1. The updates is usually download the whole darn thing, .dmg. So you need to reinstall or upgrade it. Another thing is if u using P version, just get the serial and you ready to go. Again, it is not right la for P version.

Btw, please don't think about MBP component on 12". It will never happen due to over-heating and power consumption. And if u want it to be slimmer somemore, dedicated graphic card cannot go in. In other words, it will be ultra-low end of MB. I suggest you get MBP if you are into graphic work environment.

yea.. it is a MUST to get a legal copy. For home usage, how cares..

it means Pirated la.. Illegal copies.. Get it?

Yea.. Parallels features like read/write your vhdd without booting in your virtualization software and it allows to open either mac application or windows application.

yea.. but you need to know that. What we now living, most of the things are copies then improve it. Copy-cat is one of the art skill. If you know what i mean..

PS: I not siding on Bill Pagar.
