I was wondering if anyone knew if the iMac G5 (12,1) can run both windows os and mac os via Boot Camp or Parallels. If so, which one would you recommend using and what version. My iMac is currently running os 10.4.11
I have an identical iMac G5 (iSight, 20", 2.5-GB RAM) running OS 10.5.8. Even though folks have reported successful use of Virtual PC on similar systems, some people have had problems. I set up an external FireWire drive with OS 10.4.11 just for using Virtual PC 7. It works reasonably well with no major problems. Some USB devices do not work, but that is well known for several versions of VPC. I only use this setup on special occasions because I have a MacBook Pro that runs Windows XP and 7 perfectly with Parallels Desktop 5.
