frieze Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Okay, my g4 that would run in classic mode has been put to sleep and I have a question. If I buy the windows version of CM and run it in virutalPC, will it work? I'm running a dual G5 power mac, so my concern is really whether the additional computational horsepower of the machine will make up for the lack of hardware rendering caused by virtualpc. That and whether directx et al will function at all. This issue has been discussed on the forum in the past, but the last real post addressing this exact issue that I saw was three years old, so I was hoping for some new insight. Has anyone out there got a mac with virtualpc on it that they can try a demo on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKELLEN Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I have never used Virtual PC but I use a Mac and I'm pretty sure that you will never get as good a performance out of CM as you would running CM natively on Mac. Wish I could be of more help though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJK Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 CMBO will run (sluggishly though) because it can run using software mode for the video. CMBB and CMAK wont work at all using it because it wont run in software renderer mode (all that VirtualPC offers for video unless it's changed recently). Someone correct me if my facts are incorrect, but I believe this to be true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
