Default RE: FS one by Horizon Hobbies

The problem is I have an old G4 PowerBook, so I can't get bootcamp. I have 1gb of RAM, a 1.5 GHZ processor (actually faster than a 2.50 GHZ PC), an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 VRAM is 128mb. The reason I asked if it would work is because G3 says that it cannot be run through a windows emulator, and my 2 year old desktop isnt up to snuff (heck, it can't even run the free demo)

Lee- Bootcamp IS windows, so there is no reason why you couldnt run those sims (other than video and graphics card).

If anyone KNOWS if FSone will work on my my mac, I would be greatly appreciative

It should, if you have your emulator set up correctly. The better question is: how will it perform running through a Windows emulator on my Mac?

Can a Horizon Hobby rep confirm or deny whether or not FSone will be able to run in a Windows emulator on a mac?
Can anyone?
The key will be the video card driver compatibility. With the new intel Macs and bootcamp, the Mac is more or less a "real" PC. The Bootcamp drivers are provided by Apple though, and not the same as the PC versions, though they should be close. You won't know until someone tries it. I'm hoping to get one of the new Macs soon, and hope to be able to run FSone and AFPD in bootcamp.

Cheers!
