Parallels 3.0 supports 3D games, 'SmartSelect'
By Peter Cohen

Parallels on Thursday announced Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac. This new version supports 3D gaming and adds a new feature called SmartSelect.

Parallels Desktop enables Intel-based Mac users to run Windows on their Mac at the same time as Mac OS X — no reboot is required, unlike with Boot Camp, Apple’s own software to run Windows on Mac OS X. The software costs $79.99, and the 3.0 version will be available for a $49.99 upgrade fee. Parallels is also offering a reduced price for the upgrade for $39.99 now through June 6, 2007.

Yeah, I got the e-mail last night ... Not too sure exactly what this SmartSelect business is

Not sure if I am going to go for the upgrade - the current one works for me... I don't play heavy games and besides the macbook doesn't like heavy 3d games anyway.

I am with adsl3g on this one ... Mine works fine for me, as I only use it for M$ Business solution software, and I have a PC at home to play games on (pretty much once every 2 years)

I'm in agreement - if you dont already have ||s it's a nice bonus but probably not worth the extra coin for the upgrade.
