I want to run a PC game on the Mac. Alternatives are Boot camp+Windows or Wineskin. Installing Windows seems like a lot of work: Boot Camp 30-page installation manual, partitioning hard disk, and (shiver) dealing with Microsoft XP installation disks & authentication codes. So my question is: is it worth the trouble? I've used Wineskin games before and they run pretty well but there are crashes and sound problems.

Installing Boot Camp is easy enough if you have the installation disks for Windows including a license - the Boot Camp assistant does all the repartitioning and installation.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

I agree. I've had very few troubles other than a touchy touch-pad (OS X seems to compensate better).
