While VMWare offers good performance, the performance of the PC virtual machine will simply be rather poor compared to the speed of Windows running on a PC, don't expect to run any heavy applications like games or 3D modeling applications. Dual boot is the best option, but that's annoying...booting all the time. In other words; by a PC if you want to use Windows, buy a Mac if you want to use OS/X
and virtualize if you want both :D (although one OS will be crippled by the virtualization)
I totally agree that running heavy duty programs and any games in virtualization is a joke. And yes booting back and forth is EXTREMELY annoying :) My main use for VMware is to use Office 2007.
I had to upgrade my 1 GB of RAM to 2 GB in order for VMware to work, although that still may not be enough for running two OSs that need at least 1 GB of RAM to run efficiently.
