VPC 7 used for Games?

The people say that VPC is mainly for windows only documents like microsoft word, etc. They say you should get a real PC if you wanna play PC only games. But what games are they talking about? Are they saying Halo will not play on a Mac w/ VPC? Cuz that's understandable, but I mean what about something that's not as hungry for power? CounterStrike, hellbreath, games that don't require super Alienware PCs to play, will they work well on VPC?

thnx for your time.

PowerMac G4, 133MHz bus speed, Mac OS X (10.3.8), weeee

No, they won't play because VPC doesn't support any type of 3D graphics. No DirectX or OpenGL.

You could probably play Windows Solitaire or Mine Sweeper through VPC without any trouble.
Anything more intense than that, and you won't be successful.

I've been having problem with playing almost any games on VPC. Including Half Life 2, Counter Strike, WoW, AC2, Half life 1, Doom 3, Need for speed, and Halo. Tried almost everything i have/had -=O .

As what Rich says is right it doesn't support 3D graphics.
VPC limits everything. Starting with processor speed, memory (which can be changed), hard drive space, and graphics card.

I'd have to agree of what you heard that its mainly made for software like word and other microsoft programs.
