Um... there used to be a way to make it so that Virtual PC will run as your main OS, and actually run a few MHz faster than your actual processor... but unfortunately I tried this on my G3 400 to no avail. Your best bet is to hack a case for a PC... mine cost me 150$ and it beats ass!

*edit* My computer beats ass i mean... I haven't gotten around to hackin my case yet...

NO! The whole point of it being a mac is that it doesn't run windows! PC=machine that can run windows (even though they can have other ones like linux, Unix, etc) Mac=MAC O/S! (technically a Mac is a PC but many find this misleading. And u mgith be able to load windows 3.1 or soemthing if it has been made open source and someone made an emu of it for mac)
SEGA, anything else is a toy!

You can run Windows 2000 and XP professional on a mac, and you can also run linux. There are windows emulators like the afore mentioned Virtual PC but aren't worth while. You may as well buy a PC. And I'm afraid macs are significantly overpriced and for the same price you can get a very powerful PC...and I'm not anti mac, I like them...I'm just realistic.
