Which PC flight sims have been found to work best in Windows on an Intel

I'm looking forward to more variety than the Mac-only releases.

* mmm. . . and the related question is whether Bootcamp or the, um, software
* version whose names escapes me right now, is better.

Parallels. From what I've heard, Parallels isn't so good when

1) you're running an app that chews up all of the CPU cycles
2) takes over the display.

Bootcamp is better for games, they tell me.

* Mmm. Still requires a copy of Windows though, I guess.

That's the unfortunate part.
