Yeah, all Boot Camp is is a package that guides you through partitioning and then burns you a CD of Windows drivers you'll need once you install. It works with Linux as well. If you don't need hardware acceleration of video then perhaps a VM would be more suited for you. Parallels is pretty amazing.Does it reboot and run windows properly or is it a bit lame?
It creates a virtual machine inside OS X on which you can run other operating systems. There's little hardware acceleration but everything else is very fast, thanks to VT found on Intel's newer chips. If you're not gaming Parallels is the way to go, IMO.so how doe parallels work - does it just run simultaneous Os's?

A bare minimum for what? Running Parallels? Yeah, I'd say so. You'll have the RAM consumption of your system plus the RAM used by the virtual system as well. If you're talking about capacity IIRC the MBP can take up to 4 GiB RAM.ok...
if i were to buy a mac book pro, it only has 2g ram. will that only be a bare minimum?

If you do need to run Windows, then the option of dual booting or running a VM are there then. If it's going to be something very RAM intensive, I'd suggest the dual boot so that it gets the full share of system resources rather than sticking more RAM in to try and compensate.
When you're doing work, Windows and when mixing music, OS X
