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

any opinions on mac vs pc? [/ QUOTE ] If I were you this is exactly what I would do: Buy a Mac and run Windows XP using Boot Camp or Parallels. Boot Camp and Parallels work in different ways to allow you to run separate operating systems on Mac hardware.

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.
