[QUOTE="Colin Barnhorst, post: 123560"] VPC emulates a PC, including the cpu (unlike its Windows cousin which has a real x86 cpu to work with). It puts a heavy load on the Apple processor. It is not suitable for any but earlier games. It is best for business apps that don't require special hardware addons. Only allocate the ram actually needed to run your apps because the more ram you allocate the slower VPC will run Windows and the slower you Apple programs will run. Of course there is no performance hit for just installing VPC; you only see the performance hit when VPC is running. [/QUOTE]
