I was wondering if anyone has installed and successfully used software 
on their PCI Powermac that claims to not work on that platform?

I bring this up because I am always looking to get new software, and 
some of the new titles look good and I don't see a reason that they 
couldn't work, they just aren't intended to.

My experience so far with a stock PowerMac 7300/200 with:
ATI XCLAIM VR 128 PCI video card
600 mb RAM
OS 8.6

Diablo II:  Runs fine

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction:  Runs fine, a little choppy in places

MixMan Studio Pro 4.0: Runs the software fine, but no sound comes out, 
so really is useless

Connectix Virtual Game Station:  Too slow to use for games, and there 
aren't any word processors for the PlatStation ;)

American McGee's Alice, DEMO: I got this to install and run just fine, 
but it was very slow and choppy. It was nice to learn that I wasn't that 
interested in the game, and I could go back to playing Tomb Raider.

Tony Hawk, Pro Skater DEMO: Runs just fine on my machine.

Star Wars Episode I; Pod Racer: Installed OK, but crashed on startup.

Oni DEMO: Installed just fine, plays the first movie, then crashes.

Am particularly interested in experiences with similar setups to mine, 
but would be interested in anything running on PCI Powermacs.
