Parallels vs VM:Fusion

[Deku]

Hi all,

So I got my new Macbook Pro yesterday and I'm looking at windows virtualisation. I don't need it for anything too taxing, just maybe an odd game here and there as well as checking website compatibility in IE.

Which one is better for my needs?

It does - a lot.

Thanks.

Re: Gaming
It is awful in a VM, there are various options like CrossOver which offer decent performance but BootCamp is always a lot faster.

Yeah after doing some digging this morning (new to the mac) I realise that running any games in what is in effect an emulator isn't exactly a good idea.

Just backing up now then gonna make a bootcamp partition.
