    I just had a couple questions because I just downloaded a trial version and so far I'm not impressed.

    Has anyone with a MacBook Pro (preferably a santa rosa update) used the new version of Parallels with graphic support for gaming?

    If so follow up questions: Drawbacks, what games were you playing, how was the performance?

    and then also what resources did you allocate to your virtual machine?

    thanks a lot

    Parallels 3 made great strides in the gaming area.

    If you really care about pure performance, I'd still use Boot Camp, since you are then essentially running a windows computer without the overhead of OS X and Parallels.
