Here's another good question. Is it possible to run Snow Leopard on
a PPC
machine using virtual PC? If so, where do I download it? I have
searched
all over google and no flags anywhere. If anyone had a direct site or
download link in which i can get Virtual PC 7 for my PPC mac, then
post it.
I just want to see what my reliable Sawtooth can do compared to my
early
2010 intel i7 quad-core iMac.
The only extant X86 emulators for PowerPC systems I know of are Q <http://www.kju-app.org/
> and Bochs <http://bochs.sourceforge.net/>.
Virtual PC on the Mac was killed when Microsoft bought it, then used
as the basis for their own VM stuff under Windows.
As for 'what your reliable Sawtooth can do compared to your quad-core
iMac': not much at all.
I used Q to try to get Win98 running on my 1Ghz upgraded GigEthernet.
(1Gig ram, ATI Radeon 9000 video)
I succeeded, in that I got a 'PC' up and running, and installed
Windows 98.
It would take up to 20 MINUTES to boot up, and using it was an
exercise in extreme tai-chi computing, but it ran.
