    Parallels doesnt support Direct 3D... yet.

    Wendy-

    No support for Direct 3D in parallels as of yet. Expected (rumor) to be part of the parallels 3.0 release cycle.

    In the meantime -- if you are using bootcamp you can boot into XP or Vista natively and use the 3D for games, then return to the bliss that is OSX/Parallels[Windows] once your done.

    BootCamp makes your MacBook Pro slow in processing? What do you mean by that?

    As to 3D, use BootCamp as has been said at least 30 times on the forum. At least four in the last week.

    Yes, you have to restart. It is a pain... But if you are playing games it is not the same time as work, right? Well, employers sure hope so.
