Maybe bootcamp and parallel is two different thing? So you have to configure two time? Im not sure but I have a question... Between parallel and VMWare, which is free? As I saw parallel can be downloaded online... Need to clarify this...

Why dont just use bootcamp for now? Wait till Parallel or VMWare update to fully support 64bit then only switch and its free =D

Since you already have bootcamp I think its better to use the bootcamp instead of installing another VMWare... Its not really that hassle as Mac boots up quite fast actually unless you are like really converting stuff between mac and windows...

Yes... You can run any application but those who make use of graphic card like games, then It cant be run.. But there is always the bootcamp option just have to restart your mac whenever you wanna run windows...
