Virtual PC 7

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi, I have a Mac G5 and need to run some software that is only
compatible with Windows. I am interested in getting Virtual PC 7 but
for the same price I could also just get a PC with 2.66GHz processor &
128MB of RAM. Although this is nothing like the G5 I wondered if anyone
has any tips about which option would be better as I know the Virtual
PC will run much slower than my G5 can.
