Default mac users: vag-com with what cable & virtualization software? Any caveats?

I have a MacBook pro 2ghz with 1gb ram. This is the only reason I need windows, so what should I run?

Only thing I've ever used by choice. Stuff like this is the only prob, I have no other use for it.

Default Suggest the VAG-COM forum, this subject has been discussed several times there....

The Intel Apple PCs can dual boot Windoze and OSX

Searched THFA & read Ross-Tech.com: seems boot camp is the only way! Thanks!
