As with all emulated environments you're starting to make things a little more complicated than they should be, so you're going to lose performance, and you are going to have to pay for it.
They've given Fallout 1 and 2 a Gold Medal for compatibility (expect to install and run with only minor bugs) Tactics and Fallout 3 get silver (Usable, but buggy) and new vegas gets bronze (Installs, runs, and accomplishes part of its intention) However even with their gold ranking they still appear to be officially unsupported. If this isnt to your fancy, or you're running a low powered macbook, you may want to try CrossOver Games. Of course this leaves out old Powerbook users.
This has the disadvantage of having to buy a windows license.
If you've got a Macbook Pro, it will even run new Vegas well (I'm using the high settings). The simplest option, and the one I have to recommend the highest is to bootcamp and install windows and then simply buy from gog.com or Steam. Fallout 2 was only built for Direct X, so this option isnt going to get fallout 2 to work. You'll need to find a CD version to ensure this is going to work. Fallout 1 was originally built for both Direct X (Windows) and DOS, you may be able to get the DOS version to work under Dosbox, but I've not heard of it being done and the graphics are slightly worse than the windows version.
So you're left with getting the PC version to work.

But after doing some researching I also found out that newer updates of Mac laptops are messing up the games due to the color display changes or some crap.
However, I just discovered that Fallout 1 and 2 is available for Mac (which I have). Every second is a fight for survival, and every choice is yours. Im assuming most of the people who have played Fallout 1 and 2 have PCs.
