Party on a Mac

Does anyone multitable using Virtual PC? Any problems? From what people have said, seems like it should have no trouble running a simple app like Party Poker. Just curious if anyone has first hand experience.

I did it on my powerbook G4 for while. 2 or 3 tables is manageable, but can get choppy. 4 Tables can get really choppy. And of course you have serious overlap. The amount of ram will undoubtedly help. But VPC is just not that great, no matter how simple a program you're running. I finally just bought a cheap pc and a 2001fp, and it paid for itself in a couple of weeks. VPC absolutely cannot run pokertracker, which definitely blows. Is it worth buying VPC and windows in order to multi-table on your mac? Definitely not. Put that cash toward a poker computer and be done with it.

VPC runs Pokertracker just fine if you're not using the Auto-Rate function while playing.
