CS:S or other games via Parallels?

[asherman13]

Does anybody here play Counter-Strike or any other intensive graphics games on their Mac via Parallels Desktop for Mac? I currently use Boot Camp, and I'm wondering if I would get similar performance with Parallels.

Not to be mean or anything, but I'm not looking for speculation (i.e. "Well, it is virtualization..."), rather I'm looking for actual evidence, somebody who's done it and can tell me about it.

Thanks!

How about browsing just a little bit?

There should be dozens more out there with near identical subjects...

I didn't browse, rather, I searched, and apparently your search skills are quite more refined than mine. Thanks for the help!

EDIT Your post was exceptionally helpful. I guess I'll be stickin' with Boot Camp!
