    So I got Parallels 5 and installed Windows XP SP3. The main reason I got it was to be able to play my Windows games on my Mac. Now I have everything installed, and Parallels says that I have 3D acceleration enabled. I think the main reason my games are failing to start is that I have not allotted enough RAM and Video RAM to the Windows part of my Parallels Virtual Machine (Is that what it's called? I think it is...). So, how do I change this to be able to run the games? The games are all pre-2000, so their not exactly the highest-quality stuff out there, and have relatively low system reqs. But how do I get 3D/DirectX to work in Parallels?

    EDIT: Well I got the RAM and Video RAM thing working. But how do I get Windows to recognize that my Graphics Card (GMA950) has Pixel Shading and 3D capabilities?
