This. Mac laptops don't usually have what it takes to run two operating systems at the same time. I'd just go with bootcamp and install Windows separately. If you're playing games you're not really going to be using the OS X part of your computer anyway, so why decrease the performance of the game for it?

BootCamp all the way then install Windows on it I recommend Windows 8.1

Yea im using Parallels as well. It's not bad but it depends which mac you have. Running a Virtual Machine takes a lot of resources.

I've used both BootCamp and Parallels, and Parallels is by far my favorite. You bought your Mac for a reason, right? Having to reboot into Windows negates all of that. You can try VMWare Fusion (the competitor of Parallels) as well (although I don't know if it works with Maple anymore? Someone help me on this?) but I prefer Parallels to VMWare Fusion. I've heard people say Maple runs faster with BootCamp, and that may be true, but Maple works fine for me with Parallels.

Bootcamp with a Windows OS, but then you can use only OSX or only Windows at one time, or Parallels with a Windows OS (you have to pay for Parallels, but it's a VM software so you can use OSX while playing MS as well). I'm personally using Parallels with Coherent mode so it looks all nice on my Macbook.

Something called bootcamp i believe. It lets you use windows on a mac so u can do all da good stuff
