Is anyone using Virtual PC to multitable Party or other sites on a Mac? I'm thinking about buying a PowerBook, but I want to be sure that I won't be forced to play only at pokerroom.com.

Also, does PokerTracker run smoothly on Virtual PC?

Hey,

Sorry, didn't see this post last night.

I use Virtual PC with Windows XP Professional on a newer 17 inch IMAC (at home) and it works very well multi-tabling (I've only tried up to 4 tables) at Pokerstars, Paradise, UB and Party. It sucked at Absolute but I think everyone slows down a ton when multi-tabling at Absolute.

At work (I own the company) I use it on a 14 inch IBook and a 17 inch E-Mac and can multi-table at the same sites (2-3 tables) with no problem as well.

You do need to turn of some of the crap options (sound, cheering, characters etc) to have it run at top speed but I certainly don't miss any of those features.

Hope this helps

Which version of VPC are you using?

I want to say 6.0 but I'm not sure. I'll check when I get in to work tomorrow and report. It was bundled with the first Microsoft Office Professional Edition that came out for Mac last October.
