Virtual PC on Mac
Im about to buy a new computer. I multitable and play about 10 tables at a time. Ive heard macs are better computers and run well. How well does Virtual PC run? If I buy a mac, will I be able to run pokertracker, pokerace, and 10 tables at a time with 2 GB Ram without trouble? Should I just buy a PC?
Thanks in advance. edit: Changed title. -Sam |

Re: Mac for Poker
Do you have to buy windows to use Parallels, Virtual PC, or boot camp?
If so, can I use the license from my old windows based laptop? |

Re: Mac for Poker
Yes, yes, yes.
If you have an OEM licensed copy of windows on your laptop, you can't (legally) install on another machine. If it is a retail version, you can. |
