Hi All,

As the title suggests, i'm looking for some advice on whether to run my W7 Ultimate through Bootcamp or Parrallels to do some gaming.

The games i will be playing are Lord Of The Rings: Battle For Middle Earth 2, Star Wars Empire At War and Star Wars: KOTOR. I'm not too fussed about having to reboot and boot to W7 but obviously if parallels or vm-fusion can do it fine that would be awesome and a hell of a lot easier, has anyone tried this?

Running on a MBP 13" 2011 i7, i know a 15" has a better GPU but picked the 13" for other reasons, i'm happy to upgrade to 8gb of RAM if tha's gonna make any sort of a difference? Thanks :)
 
thanks for the speedy replies, couldn't find this info clear-cut as this anywhere. Looks like i'll be using bootcamp thanks
 
As long as you're not trying to play KOTOR on the Mac. That port is optimized so horribly I can't believe it even made it to market.

Read the reviews on the app store of this and it didn't seem so popular! :D

Windows also has KOTOR 2!
