Sorry if these seem simple, but I'm a total parallels newbie. I need to be able to run MS Access and then a few accounting programs for some classes at school. Nothing too big. What kind of problems am I going to run into using Parallels?
Got a tip for us?

The only major problem areas you'll run into are applications which require accelerated graphics (3D apps, etc) and connecting USB devices like MP3 players (especially with copy-protected tracks). Apart from that Parallels will pretty much work like most PC's.
If for example you give Windows a 512MB memory window (advised), you will also need over 1Gb of RAM for smooth switching between Mac & PC.
