Takuro Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm sure a lot of other people are going to ask about this, so here's an explanation: PearPC: A PowerPC emulation environment. It can emulate either a PowerPC G3 or G4 processor. Before OS X switched to Intel architectures, people would use this program to create a virtual environment to emulate a Mac's hardware. Unlike Parallels or VMware, it has to emulate the processor. Therefore, it's really slow. VMware/Parallels: These programs don't emulate CPUs. They create virtual machines to run a second operating system simultaneously, taking CPU and memory resources away from the main operating system. The Intel-binary of Leopard won't work on these programs since Leopard hasn't been hacked yet. -------- Remember, the Leopard preview DVD is a universal binary. It can be installed on both PowerPC and Intel systems. The PowerPC binaries can only be ran on a PowerPC Mac or in an emulated PearPC environment. The Intel binaries can only be ran on official Apple computers until Leopard is hacked. One last note: Apple recently set Leopard's PowerPC requirements as "PowerPC G4 or G5." This means that if you run PearPC, you might have to change it's configuration to emulate a G4 (it normally emulates a G3.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
