Thats weird cause I installed Virt PC 7 with Windows XP Pro (upgraded
to 7.0.1) on my G5 with 4 GB Ram and I am stunned at how slow virtual
PC is. Even when it plays sounds (like the windows start up sound, its
all crackly and broken up). I had virtual PC 6 on my old g4 1.42 and I
was happy with the speed. This one is a MAJOR step down. I wish there
was a way to allocate more ram to it or something.
I have also noticed that while it can use my internet connection it
doesnt see an Isight or even an external logitec microphone. It wont
let me select any audio source other than sound blaster card....
I would seriously NOT recommend this product to anyone with a G5. Its
not at all ready for market yet.
