MBP using BootCamp or Parallels

If anybody uses BootCamp or Parallels with their MBP, please share your input of how well it runs WinXP and what the limitations are with it that you have experienced.

Most appreciate it!!

I've been using BootCamp for a couple of months without any issues. Photoshop and After Effects have been running solidly.

Xpress Pro will not successfully launch, though I have a friend who has been able to get X Pro to launch. (Please don't ask me why, but I know 4 MBPs that have BootCamp, all with the same settings, and my friend's MBP is the only one of the four that will allow X Pro to open.)

And for what it's worth, videogames play really well on it. Tiger Woods 06 and NHL 2006 both have wonderfully smooth framerates. iTunes and Quicktime Pro exports/imports are very efficient. (My Core Duo 2.0 is within 85-90% of our dual 3.2 ghz Xeon HPs using the same apps.)

This is all running on (1) 1GB stick.
