The best advice I can probably give is for you to look for and ask for tips and advice in the Parallels Mac forum:

I can't believe that Mac OS X requires 768MB of video memory just to run the system. It should be possible to reverse the memory allocation (majority goes to Windows VM, the rest to the Host OS). Anyway, same here, Parallels won't let me to assign more. Parallels seems to be RAM hungry and that results in lots of page flips as the Mac moves memory on and off the disk. I frequently had very little available RAM when viewed using Activity monitor, and we all know how little the Mac OS likes that.

You will absolutely need to run antivirus and antispyware software in Windows, just as you would any other Windows system. You'll also want to have plenty of RAM in your system so that you don't strangle either Windows or Mac OS X. I'd recommend having at least 8GB in your Mac if possible. How much you can allocate to Windows will depend on what version you have; the 32-bit version can't access more than about 3.2GB of RAM no matter how much you allocate in Parallels.

Otherwise, my experience is that in general Parallels Desktop is quite easy and straightforward to set up and run, so your experience is quite likely to be good.
