BoxOfSnoo: I've been using Parallels fairly successfully on my machine, though yes, work and chat are just a Cmd-Tab away.
dyscode: Yes, Parallels is also solid and nice but on my low specs Mac, well, for more than some pre 2003 games or Point & Click adventures. I can forget it. With a decent GFX card, it's a whole different thing. But I only use it for Tools, like Freehand or Photoshop. :)
Of course, I've always been that way, even when I was PC-bound, I'm NOT one of those guys that could ever justify building a machine as a "gaming rig".
