No. If you had an Intel, Look at bootcamp
Make sure to do it carefully.

No. Unless you do a Virtual PC job, in which case you will need 2gb ram just for it to run well enough to be usable.
I still wouldn't recommend.

I have that system with 1.5 gn ram and virtual pc. it sucks.. it is so slow, i find it quicker to open up VNC and connect to a pc on my wireless network.

Use the Search function of the forum, and you will find many posts explaining Windows on Mac.
I really though that topic was finally covered...
