    Hello there!

    I'm planning to buy Parallels strictly for gaming, there're some games that just run on Windows and this is my chance. I guess if Parallels consumes too much memory or resources so games run smooth and nicely, like there's Parallels consumption plus the game itself. Please tell me about your experience.

    If you have played Simcity 4 via Parallels, please tell me how it goes.

    I've got a Macbook Pro Intel 2,26 core 2 duo / 2 GB ram / Geforce 9400 M 256

    I'm not afraid of viruses, worms and that stuff, I'm not gonna even start any web browser hehe.

    Thanks a lot!!

    Just use the BootCamp.

    Gaming isn't good in Parallels. I would also suggest just using Boot Camp.
