Powerbook and Windows

I know that this question is not appropriate but is it posible to install Windows XP on Powerbook G4? I really like Apple's design and quality and I'm a proud user of 3G iPod but I really need windows XP for Autocad. Thanks for help

You will need to get virtual pc with xp from m$. If you want xp on your powerbook.

Nope impossible.....You can use VirtualPC which is a Windows Emulator. It doesnt support 3D graphics yet

My daughter is in the same situation. She needs to run AutoCAD, which does not run on Apple hardware. So I will have to buy her a PC laptop. Since I work for IBM, I guess I will be getting her a ThinkPad.

OK! Thanks for help

hey rman, how much do those thinkpads go for now a days? I think i'm going to need to buy a pc for myself for all of the autocad that i will be doing in the very near future.
