If you want to run Windows on an Intel based Apple computer, there were two
possible ways : Boot Camp, Apple's solution which allows you to natively
install Windows on your Mac, but you need to reboot your computer each time you
want to switch between Windows and Mac OS X. Second solution is Parallels
Desktop, which allows you to run Windows along Mac OS X, into a virtual
computer (tested here).
First solution allows Windows to directly access to the hardware, then allow
3D acceleration (and allows you to easily use games designed for Windows).
Second solution allows you to save a reboot, but 3D games are forbidden :
computer is virtual, devices are virtual too and don't support 3D acceleration
(and, because of virtualization, performances are under “native” ones).
Here comes a new challenger, it's VMware
Fusion, which promises us simultaneous 3D acceleration and computer
virtualization.
