i tried both and found that vm ware was faster with windows xp and i managed to run one of the lord of the rings games on it fine on my macbook =o

Which version of Lord of the Ring's where you playing?

A majority believe in the power of VMware on these forums.

Umm the strategy one, the first one they made, i forgot the name of it now, but it seemed to work ok as i remeber

So then Parallels WILL play Command and Conquer. Also support Directx9?


Just wanna be sure.


Thanks,

Why not just use BootCamp and run it direct and not through either one if you are gaming.
The performance will be better and there will be no issues.
