VPC Questions

I was wondering if VPC is able to run the latest games?

I would think that it would be able to but that it might run slower because its not directly running off of hardware but having to run throught the software. Do you think I would be able to play Battlefield 2 on this? Do you think that it would run all too much slower since its running off a powermac?

Powermac G5 Dual Core 2.0, Mac OS X (10.4.3), Dual 19" Monitors, 1/2 terabyte, gig of ram

I was also wondering if I bought VPC could i then install the copy of Microsoft Office that I have from my old pc that I no longer use? Would that work rather than having to buy microsoft office for mac?

" I was wondering if VPC is able to run the latest games?"

No. VPC is emulation software that's emulating an OS that has billions of lines of code. Therefore it is very slow, and has virtually no 3D acceleration support.

You could install Office, but it will be slow just like most other things are in VPC.

With as cheap as some PCs are these days, you could almost buy one of them for roughly, or at least a little more than the price of VPC.
