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.
