dude... have you used vmware? it is not viable at all for any sort of gaming... even solitaire.
*sigh*
I use VMWare every day. Monday through Friday. It isn't that bad. Could you play BF2142 on it? No. Could you play WoW? Maybe. Have YOU used VMWare lately? Look, I'm not saying VMWare is an answer to Channing's problem, but it's a million times better than *emulating* a WinXP environment. I've yet to see a windows emulator for any platform that's worth a shit.
What you could do with VMWare, however, is go straight from doing whatever you mac freaks do on your Mac that you can't do on a PC (which, judging by the commercials, is be a snarky douchebag) and boot up a windows environment in seconds. No rebooting. Done playing game? Close VMWare. DONE! No need to worry about spyware or viruses or anything, when you're done playing you can revert to a known good virus free image. (If you want.) I mean, let's face it: If you want to run the latest and greatest PC games, there is no alternative to buying a PC. None. Buying a Mac and dual booting will work...but why? But in spite of this Channing asked a question, I gave an answer, and I don't understand the problem. Jesus VMWare for Mac isn't even out yet, and you guys are like "Won't work! SUCKS! REX IS TEH STUPID!"
edit: p.s. I posted this from a vmware virtual machine...OMG sucks so hard!
