I plan to order my first Mac next week; the black MacBook with 2 Gigs Ram. Unfortunately, I will also have to run a few Windows applications either within Parallel or Boot Camp.



1. What are the pros and cons for running Windows applications either in Parallel or Boot Camp? Should 2 Gig's of RAM be enough to run both Windows Xp and OSx in parallels?



2. What is the recommended anti-virus software application that work well for detecting viruses, spyware, spam when running in either environment (Parallel or Boot Camp)?



3. Should I purchase an anti-virus software program also for the Mac side?





Thank You
