Can you run Parallels on a Mac and still play PC games?

Possibly, but it's inadvisable for several reasons (Note that I am researching this information via Internet rather than personal experience). The most obvious is hardware constraints: you are running an operating system that is running another operating system that is running a game, so speed will be hampered considerably. Compatibility is also a problem: Parallels, like any emulator, has its flaws. These are naturally aggravated when dealing with complex graphical operations. Bottom line is, games generally require absolute control of your machine in order to run properly for both performance and stability reasons, and Parallels doesn't provide that kind of environment. Therefore, it's probably a bad idea to run games with Parallels and XP. Speaking of performance and stability... for the love of God, don't try this with Vista.

How can you run a Super Nintendo emulator on a PlayStation 3 without Linux?

You cannot that I know of. For one thing, the ps3 operating system is not an open operating system that allows its user to install random software like windows or linux does.

For another thing, running software made for windows (or any x86 system, which is what most game emulators are programmed for) requires an x86 emulator to run on the cell processor of the PS3. So you would need to use an x86 emulator (like qemu) on linux and from there run the gaming emulator.

I believe there are some super nintendo emulators that will run on linux on the PS3 without qemu, for example, snes9x.

But no, you cannot simply run an emulator from the ps3 without linux. The Ps3 operating system will not run executable files like windows does.

When you use Sun VirtualBox does the operating system use your real RAM or something else?

VirtualBox runs the operating system just like an application on your host operating system. When you give your guest operating system 512 MB of RAM, it appears as though a program is using 512 MB of RAM on your host. For this reason, you can never specify more RAM than you actually have installed, and for stability reasons, you should never specify more than half of your RAM for the guest.

Can you use hard drive space as VRAM?

This happens automatically when you run out of RAM. This is the reason Game's advice at least 10GB space free on your Hard Drive. The PC uses the RAM and Cache, then the Hard Drive, then you'll get Blue Screen of Death Memory Dump.
