There aren't any apps that require video acceleration in the field of study. We're not talking 3D modelling or Game development here. VPC emulates "onboard shared" video common in Windows PCs and is exactly the kind of video anyone developing for the web should be using, she can go out and buy a new budget P4 with exactly this kind of video support today. Hardware dongles (anti-piracy systems) are used on Windows programs that for the most part run on Macintosh (Quark, some kilobuck audio apps) and VPC provides full support for Windows USB dongles, which are supported by any recent versions of dongled Win SW. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
