have you considered WINE?

i dont know how well it'll handle the simulators; but, i would
suspect most of the code is to emulate x86 anyhow - which, may 
still require a pretty beefy MAC anyhow :(

something similar to this was just posted to slashdot last night

they outline that one of the recent updates causes programs to 
start crashing :) the following case is for win 2000 SP4 - but,
i believe you may get the same resolution/fix with XP SP2
