UT3 (Map Editor) usable under Parallels and/or Fusion?

[Taustin Powers]

Thinking about picking up a windows copy of Unreal Tournament 3, just for the level editor though. I play on the PS3, but I want to build maps.

Can anyone tell me if this would work reasonably well (don't need 120 FPS for building...) under the following configuration:

Early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 Core, 2.8 GHz
4 GB Ram
Geforce 8800GT
Windows XP SP2 on either Parallels or Fusion

Does this sound feasible, or should I forget about VMs and just stick with Boot Camp for this task?

I know, I usually don't do that. However in this case, the subject really touches both topics (gaming & windows VMs), and I thought I might get more input from different people on both boards.

Mods, if you still think it's too much, please go ahead and delete the one thread that you feel is less appropriately placed than the other.
