I really wouldn't recommend using Virtual PC for any
audio applications... I use it at work for MS Office, but the general operation
of VPC is incredibly slow. I really doubt it could keep up with that kind
of data stream. I have switched to the mac version of Office just so i
don't have to use VPC anymore. And I have a new G4 tower, 384Mb
RAM....

Well, you can buy Virtual PC 2.0, or higher, and run ACID on your Mac. I am
not a MAC man, but I think Stienberg has some things that you can use.
