I don't want to deviate from initial topic, but I should say I found quite interesting the option of running Parallels with BootCamp.

I read about Boot Camp and was disappointed of the fact that it is for dual boot. But if we have the ability to boot into Snow Leopard, open Parallels and call XP from its native/boot camp partition, that's really nice.

I am in the process of installing or using Parallels for PlayOn (there another thread here, from one of the forum admins about cutting Cable TV for good) and so far I've had some success. But PlayOn is really CPU intensive and I got the feeling that combination could boost the performance a bit.

All these so wife can watch Young and the Restless ...

... is the only thing she is complaining or missing from old Cable TV service that now is gone, replaced by Roku 2.
