IMac G5 2Ghz Processor vs New Dual Core G5 2Ghz Power Mac

About 2 months ago I bought an IMac 2 Ghz with 1 gig of memory and
attempted to run VPC 7 on it, but was very dissatisfied with the speed.
I ended up returning it and am considering buying a Dual Core 2Ghz
Power Mac also with 1 gig of ram. Does anyone have experience running
VPC 7 on these two machines to help me determine whether the bump in
speed would be worth it? Thanks.

How satisfied are you with VPC's speed? Have you ever run it on any
other Mac for comparison? Thanks for your answer.

Regardless of the amount of power that you get from your Mac, you will
never be able to access or utilize it in VPC. VPC is an emulater
application and emulates everything(pretty much). Generally, it
emulates a PII 300Mhz processor. There are "some" factors that will
allow you slightly better performance but not the blazing speed you
seem to be looking for. Other points to consider:
1. The more RAM that you allocate to VPC, the slower it will be (more
RAM, more to emulate). Don't go any higher than 384MB.
2. Leave the VRAM at 4MB.VPC doesn't access your video card, so
allocating more RAM to video is useless.
3. Quit as many applications on the Mac side as possible. VPC is very
processor intensive.
4. Cut all the bells and whistles in Windows( again, more to emulate)

Go to Help in VPC and type performance for more tips. Again, don't
expect smokin" speed from VPC.....you won't get it
