Does it perform like what you would expect from the Hardware or is miserably slow?
Becauyse the Lady i chatted with at the Apple Online Store told me that paralells is faster is that true? I actually want to be able to play Battlefield 2 on it.

no bootcamp runs just as fast as any compter that runs windows, even better. bootcamp is just a bootloader, windows runs just like a regualr windows computer. parallels run windows a little slower. paralles only supports dx8 so u wont be playing bf2 on it, u would need to use bootcamp.

The lady at the store has no idea what she's talking about. When using Parallels you are using Windows in a virtual environment. When using BootCamp, Windows is running natively. BootCamp is nothing more than a bootloader. Once Windows is loaded, it's running natively, without emulation...it's no different than running it in any PC.

Parallels allows you to run Windows INSIDE of OS X, whereas, with BootCamp, you choose which operating system you want to boot in to at startup.
