| Its not possible through VMware. You can download the beta 2 version that has it, i saw it in my RSS feeds today. Doesn't support all games though. I would just do boot camp with xp pro. |

Bootcamp requires Windows XP SP2, or Windows Vista.
You can alternatively try Crossover, which is comparatively cheaper...but still not free. It is basically WINE for games.
Bootcamp will give you the best experience, period. |

| I tried some games on Hackintosh with Crossover. They worked very well, but framerate was a little bit low instead running on Windows. |
