The obvious problem with virtualisation is that both systems share the same video memory. Mac OS X eating quite a lot of it for its own, the other system is left with what is available and unless you have an hefty graphic card, you are not going to play the games at full speed and quality. This situation will be worst with Vista and its bunch of graphic effects.

Dual booting is less troublesome, but it is really painful to wait between each restart to engage some serious activities.

I don't see why so many people are so excited about running an OS that costs nearly 2/3 of the price of a Mac mini. Sure Home Edition is about half that price, but come on, with that money, I could buy at least 5 to 10 cross-ported games, or three Nintendo DS, or four GameCubes, or tons of second hand video games...

This chipset should be quiet decent since it supports Core Image which is very demanding on the GPU. But I am not sure it holds up when the I/O bus is getting saturated like it usually does on low-end PCs.

Definitely fake. The "Settings" word is duplicated all over the screen making it quite verbose when compared to the original GC config screen. That thing is supposed to work across regions without localisation... Oh, and if it is a beta, then the menu should be displayed in Japanese, not in English.
