Hey there.

Is it possible to play PC-Games like Half Life 2 or Counterstrike on my Mac
G4 using Virtual PC?
I recently read, this would be impossible because 3D-graphics are not
supported.

Please help!

Regards, Max

Definately not!

Indeed. Without hardware 3D acceleration anything but the oldest 3D
engines with optional software rendering simply won't work.
And even with 3D acceleration something like Half-Life 2 wouldn't run,
because the game is too demanding on the CPU than the emulation could
provide even on the fastest Mac.
