Yeah, umm I'm not sure if this is the correct place it be asking this but... I was wondering if Virtual PC will play online games. I want to know if it'll play Final Fantasy XI or if I'll have to pay the 500 dollars for a 360. I know that FFXI wasn't released for the Mac so I'm curious to see if it would work on my computer or not. I have an iBook G4 and I'm not all that great with computers so any help would be great... ^^;

Oh good lord no. Virtual PC is slow as a wet week on G4s - it's fine for the occasional application that wouldn't stretch the processor much but definitely NOT FOR GAMES.

Your best bet would be an Intel Mac w/ Boot Camp and Windows or grab that 360.
 
Oh ok that's what I thought. XD
Thanks for the help... I shall buy the 360 then!
