Apple has released
Boot Camp, which allows you to dual boot into either Mac OS X or Windows XP or Vista.
In addition, there is
Parallels Desktop, which allows you to run Windows inside Mac OS X through virtualization.
Both run Windows natively, but Parallels can't take advantage of 3D Graphics acceleration, so Boot Camp is your best bet if you want to play games.
And mousepod, Crucial is great, but I can't stand their prices. I just got a gig of additional RAM for our iMac G5...Crucial quoted me at $150, but Datamem (the place I linked to earlier) sold it to me for $100
