I'm in the screen where it says where I want to install XP on. It says 7999mb free space, and then the next screen says NTFS or FAT. Which one should I choose? IM only going to be using it for gaming... I just dont want to do anything to hurt my HD on my mac..

I would personally choose NTFS, which is more modern than Fat32. But, I don't know which works better for parallels. I would guess it's the same as what works on a regular WinBox, though.:)

That said, whatever you choose probably won't mess up your hard drive.

If you're using Parallels strictly for gaming you will be sorely dissapointed since Parallels does not support 3D graphics acceleration.

Does that include Age of empires 2/3 ???

Yes, especially Age of Empires 3 which is actually quite graphically intense using bloom effects and other interesting effects.
