With Bootcamp you have to turn off the computer to boot to windows. Then turn off again to boot to Mac. Haven't used it. Heard it runs fastest but requires a separate partition on the HD. Don't know anyone that uses it.

8 gb of RAM is the min I would use with parallels or VMware for a good experience. 16 gb is fairly cheap to buy and install.
