So i have an iMac PowerPC G5, 20 inch, 2.1 ghz, ATI Radeon X600 XT, 1 GB of RAM except i have the 2005 version (with iSight) so it has NO INTEL. I am going to use virtual pc because i can't use boot camp. Do you think BF2 and games of that graphics prestige will work????

No.

VirtualPC doesn't support 3D graphics in any way, shape, or form.

Nope. Can't be done.

Pre-Intel Macs are limited to Slow (VPC) and Slower (Qemu, etc). None of them support 3D graphics, and therefore, no PC games (that require 3D graphics). If you want to play games on your (preIntel) Mac, you'll have to stick with the games that were ported.

That's what you get for being a Mac user back in the day, at least new Macs being blessed with the essence of PCs gives you more flexibility :rolleyes:

Yeah.. that's what you get. Lucky we have you around to remind us what a pitiful existence we all had before intel Macs.
