<p dir="ltr">Yeah, I never used Virtual PC, by that time I had gone over to Linux on the PC side of things, and when I got an Intel 2006 model Macbook, it rendered the point moot. I used Parallels, then VMWare on the Macbook. But as I said, I do remember a friend using Virtual PC to run Windows 98 on a G3 iMac - terribly slow if I remember correctly, but it did run.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Of course, as with any virtualisation, you'll want to max out your RAM first, just in case. VMs love RAM for breakfast.</p>

It works great but it does add an extra level of complexity. If Parallels will work on your machine you should be able to do it.<br>
