I use VMWare Fusion to run several virtual machines, mostly for web dev purposes (SQL Server, Windows browser testing, that sort of thing). I haven't tried any games yet. You can download the beta version of the next release free and give it a try. However, running anything in a virtual machine is going to cause a performance hit.

Why not try XP instead of Vista? It's much less of a resource hog and you'll probably get better performance.

He said he doesn't play many games. Why would you get a computer just to play 2 games?

Yet he got a Mac (which is a computer) and now he wants to play games on it.  Newsflash, most current games don't run natively on OS X.  There are a few exceptions.  Some older games will run on it natively, but they're probably several years old.

I think the point sean wookie is trying to make is that C3PX's desire to use OS X outweighs his gaming needs, so building a machine that will force him to use Vista all the time just for an occasional gaming session doesn't make sense.
