Hi,

VPC will run. It could be slow. The PowerBook's drive probably spins at
less than 7200 rpm which will also slow things down.

Are you sure it's 667 MHz or 867 Mhz?! I don't think Apple ever
released a 667 MHz PowerBook G4!

I have had an 867 MHz PowerBook G4 myself at one stage, and I did
run Virtual PC on it. Ran just fine... except for software which
relied too heavily on network or interrupt processing (namely,
QuickTime for Windows, and Windows Messenger), where the software
forced Virtual PC to lose its real-time clock accuracy.

fyi... I have a 667mhz Powerbook G4 and am running VPC 7.02 on Tiger
10.4.5 and it's working ok... a bit slower than I'd really like but it
works.
