Many high-end games require a specific video card.  Will these games run 
at all on a Mac running BootCamp?  If they will, will the video 
performance be insufficient for most gamers' tastes? 

I've already heard from a couple of folks who have tried BootCamp, and 
they say that WinXP runs surprisingly fast compared to a real Win 
desktop, but I've yet to hear from anyone who has tried any high-end 
games on it yet.  I'd love to hear the results of any tests.
