What a fan boy video.

You have those MACs on hand, but you do nothing.

No benchmarks or death matchs.

I got nothing useful from your video.

I would stick with BootCamp to play PC games.

@merlkaba So... just because the video has nothing to do with pc's hes a fanboy? but if it was about PC's you would be bithing about macs sucking... Get over yourself.

Every time I use vmware fusion to use windows 7 it crashes my mac weird I will probably bring my mac to the mac store to have it check, otherwise I will switch to a xbox 360 for games.

Honestly Parallels are much better for running side by side especially the latest one. Some of these guys are talking from previous model of Parallels. This is the way to do it, run parallels in Mac OS X for non-demanding Win OS programs and install boot camp for 3D demanding Apps and video games. Mac can handle them all easy.
