Best option for Windows 7 on a Mac?

afraser2k · 30 Dec 2011 at 22:38

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15" and looking into putting Windows 7 on, mainly for gaming. Would this mean that Boot Camp is the best option for me or should I go for something like VirtualBox or VMWare? License-wise would any of those options depend on using Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate?

Bootcamp is your best bet, it'll run natively whereas VMWare etc. will have to emulate some aspects.

Go for bootcamp, there's no way you'd get games running at a usable frame rate under any VMware type solution.
