How do you play PC games on a Mac?

• Answer:

  There are a couple of ways but you still need to have a copy of Windows XP or Windows 7 to use ANY Windows games or programs. You can use Boot Camp that is part of Apple to Boot into a Window partition or you can buy a "Virtual" installer like Paralells, VMWare, etc, and it you can then use Windows while still in the Mac OS. If you have one of the later Intel Macs you can use BootCamp to load Windows XP or 7 on a second partition on the hard drive. You then have a full Windows boot-up disk. You can then either boot into the Mac side or the Windows side. The other way is to use something like VMWare, Paralells, etc, to have a "Virtual" Windows while still in the Mac OS. They make a "virtual" partition and you install Windows as usual and you can then use "most" PC games and software at the same time as you use the Mac. I hear it actually works pretty good and only a few programs that don't work but they are always working on them.
