Hey,
In my experience, the latest vmware fusion is pretty fast! I run a few
apps on it, and they all work great. I would say to have more than 2GB
or ram, so that you can give enough to windows and enough to OSX and
it'll fly.
As far as bootcamp and running windows natively, they're both the same.
All bootcamp does is lets you setup windows on another partition, and
then provides the drivers for the mac's hardware for windows.
Mac's tend to make extremely fast windows machines. My macbook with
win7... it's almost (almost) as fast as OSX, in both vmware and
bootcamp. The thing you want to decide, is if you want windows and OSX
apps to run at the same time, or i fyou want to restart. Restart? use
bootcamp. side-by-side? vmware. you can always get the trial of vmware
fusion once you have your mac and see what works best for you.

Hi all,
Just a quick question. If I win the lottery and get a mac, I will want
Windows on it to run things like audio games. I was told that vmware,
which seemed like a perfect solution, is slower than native windows
and is not a good solution due to its lack of speed. What have people
found when running windows via a virtual machine as far as speed? How
does it compare to bootcamp, and are there any problems with bootcamp
that would make it a less-than-ideal solution? How do both compare to
running windows natively?
