HeliAnimal is on a distinguished road
Games in Parallels??

Anyone run mild 3d Games in Parallels? I know it doesn't support graphics cards yet.. I just don't know what it can do.

Forget about _any_ 3D games in Parallels so far. There's no "light" 3D here. Solitaire and similar stuff will run okay, though.

You'd be better served to use Boot Camp and install XP Service Pack 2 on it if you want to play games.

And you could also use that partition in Parallels then. The new version can do that.
