Fallout NV Under Parallels Addendum
I posted about running Fallout: New Vegas in an XP VM under Parallels last week, and I wanted to add a brief addendum. When I first started playing, I got fairly frequent crashes. I thought that perhaps things would be more stable if I quit a few apps, and sure enough - the game runs nicely after that.
So it turns out that you can play FNV on a Mac using Parallels, but: if you only have 4 gb of memory (as I do) - go light on the Mac apps when you decide to play.

Actually, I'm quite happy with how I've got this working. Windows is on an external USB drive, so it's not clogging up my main drive. Starting apps is way faster than rebooting, and so long as I don't run parallels and big apps at the same time, it works very well.
