Windows program for Macs

[Heather_W]

I recently bought an iMac and am going to run AutoCad on it. I know I will have to use a program like Parallels Windows or Boot Camp (I know there is a third program...the name escapes me at the moment). I'm trying to weigh all the pros and cons and get opinions on the different programs out there. Please help me choose the right one.

I've never tried to run AutoCAD on my Mac, but I've used both Bootcamp and Parallels for other things. The obvious con of Bootcamp is having to shut down and reboot the computer to change operating systems. I'm using Parallels now & for some reason it won't run in full-screen mode. So neither is perfect. I'd probably have to recommend Bootcamp for cad.
