[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1614298, member: 38864"] A virtual machine like Virtual Box doesn't have to emulate hardware. In the case of VirtualBox, which is designed for Intel-based operating systems to run in a VM on Intel hardware, the virtualized machine runs much closer to native speeds. If you were to run PearPC, that software has to emulate the PPC hardware, something that is VERY resource intensive. But you couldn't do that with Snow Leopard anyway because, as stated before, Snow Leopard is an Intel-based OS exclusively!!!!!! Just to be clear... you can ONLY run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine like VirtualBox, Parallels, or VMWare. PearPC cannot emulate Intel hardware, which would make no sense to do on Intel hardware, so it can't run Snow Leopard. If you insist on this route, try running it in Snow Leopard Server in VirtualBox or VMWare. There will be a performance hit, but I have no idea how much of one. But honestly, you should just get a new version of Final Cut and move on with the times. [/QUOTE]
