That does not follow. Virtual PC emulates a very minimal level of PC hardware, and OS X will not work with that. > and it would probably work best if the PPC Mac had at least two processors. 'Best' is a relative term. OS X for intel needs a certain level of hardware to run, and that is very difficult to do with an emulator, and in practical terms it will be unusably slow. I mean 'boot up in a day or three, and take 6 hours to start textedit' unusably slow. Time to realize that you have to move on, that the PPC is a dead end. Even a quad G5 wouldn't possibly run an intel emulator well enough to provide a usable OS X experience, because it can't. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
