how do you want to use it? Bootcamp, you have to reboot to switch OS's

i just want my mac to be as stable and fast as possible... parallel means that i can use xp and mac's OS at the same time... will this be better or just mess everything up? as i said im using just for poker,music and movies

Have you looked at VMWare's Fusion? I think that is the route that I am going to take since they not only seem to have caught up and surpased parallels but they have also shown to be much less taxing to the cpu. I don't believe they currently support DirectX 10 yet so that might be an issue with using Vista, but since there doesn't seem to be much else supporting it I'm sure they will be up to speed by then.

Speaking of Vista, I would only be planning on using it for some older games, a few apps and poker. If one isn't looking for too much immediately and can hold off until the service packs are developed is Vista fine for now or is it looking like an Edsel?
