The faster your Mac, the better off you'll be.Įven if you own a spiffy new G3, you'll need plenty of RAM. Tolerable Windows emulation requires at least a 603-based PowerMac running at 180 MHz or faster. If you own a first-generation 601-based PowerMac, don't bother.
To compare the two emulators, I spent two weeks testing them on my home Mac, a Power Computing PowerTower Pro sporting a 604e processor running at 180 MHz.īefore you consider purchasing either program, be warned that they devour system resources.
But unless you intend to run demanding programs - such as PC games that rely heavily on Microsoft's DirectX technology - software emulation is the cheapest, most practical way to get your Mac to do Windows.
